Pacific Coast Highway — California Highway 1
One of the world's great coastal drives. California Highway 1 hugs the Pacific coastline for over 650 miles from Leggett in the north to Dana Point in the south, with the legendary Big Sur section the undisputed highlight. Big Sur's dramatic cliffs, redwood forests and sweeping ocean views have no equal anywhere on earth. The Bixby Creek Bridge is one of the most photographed motorcycle locations in the world. Combine with 17-Mile Drive through Pebble Beach and the windswept cliffs of Point Reyes.
