The ultimate California coast road trip guide from San Jose to Santa Barbara! We spent 5 days driving down the coast, then another 10 days chilling and exploring Santa Barbara and Montecito. I did the research and explored so you don’t have to. (I have extermely specific taste as a Taurus and food and boutique hotel lover) This list has the best hotels, restaurants, coffee shops, sweet treats, hikes, beaches, scenic stops, workout classes, and things actually worth doing along the way. Perfect if you’re looking for California travel inspo or planning your own Highway 1 road trip down PCH.
