Great road, wonderful beaches and views along various parts. Big sur is probably the wildest part but there are multiple sections of beauty along the way. I’ve dropped a star only because this is p… Full review by 838jamesa

What is not to like? Mild weather, great scenery and fun little towns to stop in. We ate a lunch in Cuyucos and stopped to see the Elephant Seals. Went off the path for some wine tasting, just a gr… Full review by TravelerfromArizona
Hi We will be travelling From San Francisco to Palm Springs this summer and would like to stop along the way. Should we stop in Moonstone Beach or San Luis Obispo? Does anyone have any other suggestions? Since it's a long drive would like to stop somewhere in between.

The whole drive is only about 5 1/2 hours, so an overnight stay is not a must. The good news is that there will probably not be fog, but rain is a possibility. If you do want to do an overnight, I would suggest staying in Carmel. It's beautiful and there are lots of hotels and restaurants. I haven't stayed there in several years, so any recommendation would not be up to date.
I will be going up from LA to Santa Cruz in two weeks with a night layover in San Simeon (Hearst Castle). How long will it take to get from San Simeon to Santa Cruz.
A:
i agree 2-3 hours, the sights are pretty amazing which will add time to our drive.
