Highway 1
Officially the "California State Route 1." This famous road runs along the coast for nearly 900 km, from north of San Francisco to south of Los Angeles. It’s one of the most beautiful and tourist-friendly routes in the USA, especially between SF and LA, offering a chance to explore the coastline and all the towns worth stopping at along the way.

Los Angeles
California's largest city and the second-largest in the country. Not always a favorite among tourists, who often prefer San Francisco, Los Angeles still offers plenty to explore for several days—both within the city itself and its surrounding areas (Beverly Hills, Malibu, Long Beach, Santa Monica, and more).

Malibu
West of Los Angeles, the place is part of L.A.'s "tourist image." Beyond certain TV series, the city owes its fame to its beaches, its famous residents, and the surfing scene, which began here when the sport first arrived on the continental U.S.
