Driving up the Central Coast 11.27.11

Thanksgiving is over, so back to work. That means sitting in traffic along with other people who are doing the same thing. Driving up from LA on the North 101 freeway though can be an adventure. This freeway follows the Pacific Coast Hwy and essentially the Pacific Ocean. Not a bad view to see for 3 hours.

It was stop and go traffic around the border of the Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties. Not only did it have a great view of cliffs and the ocean, it was sunset. Great place to stop and enjoy the view.

Below are pictures from Rincon Parkway, located off exit 78, Seacliff. Just make a right and drive down until you see the ocean.

Its November and you still see people at the beach wadding in the water and in the tidepool. There were 2 guys paddle surfing and dogs running off leash. This location offers overnight RV parking and a great way to comfortably camp at the beach. That will be on my to do list.

 

Other beaches than can be viewed directly off the 101:
El Capitan State Beach
Refugio State Beach
Gaviota State Beach
