    Location:

    California Coast, south of San Jose.

    Description:

    Big Sur is about 40 miles long and has many areas within it worth seeing. For nature, we have these top things to see in Big Suras well as other activities you can do. One of my main goals in visiting the California coast the first time I went there was to see Big Sur because some say it has the best nature areas all fit into one region, in all of California. I will say that is a strong argument after seeing it for myself (twice). In any case, I recommend exploring at least the 5 areas in Big...

    Location:

    Fort Bragg, 3 hours north of San Francisco on the California Coast.

    Description:

    The main attraction of Fort Bragg isn’t really it’s nature, but the Glass Beach it holds that drives a lot of tourists there. I’ve visited the Glass Beach in Californiathree times and while I liked the actual glass beach, I learned that there was a ton more things to see and do there (which I included in a specific post above on Glass Beach). Additionally, if you travel a little bit north of Fort Bragg, you’ll cross a place called the Pudding Creek Bridge, which is beautiful to explore as it...

    Location:

    About 10 miles north of Fort Bragg.

    Description:

    One of the main benefits of being on route 1 on the California Coast is all the stops available and some of them aren’t even well know, such as this one I found. Details on where to find it: I couldn’t even find the name of it on Google maps, but it’s located right near Coast Highway Lookout (1 kilometer south of it) and it is a one of the best scenic drives in northern Californiathat I have seen. It’s also located about 20 minutes north of Fort Bragg if you need more references. But anyway,...

    Location:

    This specific area is close to the Southern Oregon Coastborder (about 1 hour south of it).

    Description:

    Until I entered California State for the first time in 2017, I had no idea this was the same state that had the famous giant trees, which aren’t just Redwoods, but also Sequoias (there are big differences between Redwoods vs Sequoiatrees by the way) , but when I discovered that it was, I had to go and visit it! And as it just so happens, it is located right on the California coastline. In fact, you’ll find tons of Redwoods north (and south) of Fort Bragg as you travel further and further nort...

    Location:

    Near San Diego (California Coast).

    Description:

    If you love sea caves and being able to enter them, then Sunset Cliff’s Cave should be on your list. This area is on a beach right by San Diego and it really looks a lot like the Devils Punchbowl area in OregonI explored. But it’s easier to walk in through Sunset Cliff’s Cave than it is to Devils Punchbowl in Oregon. Anyway, this spot, as you can see on the picture to the right is very iconic, and it is highly recommended to time your visit here when the sun is about to set (for obvious reaso...

    Location:

    30 minutes south of Fort Bragg.

    Description:

    Russian Gulch State Parkis a beautiful park with a beautiful beach, giant bridge, sea caves, Redwoods and much more that should absolutely be explored if you get the chance. It’s a small park, but it has a lot to see. When I was looking for places to see in California’s Coast, an image of this spot came up, but I didn’t discover where it was until the next time I would travel through California. Fortunately, I was able to see this awesome spot recently and I couldn’t be happier. In many ways,...

    Description:

    Monterey Bay is a popular spot to check out near the Monterey area. But the coastal area there itself is very scenic and has cliffs you can hike near. There’s also a lot of other tourist attractions in the Monterey area worth exploring aside from the coast itself, but for me, it’s a place I have yet to explore personally. When I first saw a picture of this place, I thought it was in Big Sur, but sadly, I was wrong (it was south of it) but I do recommend you plan your visit to this area too if...

    Location:

    About 15-20 minutes north of Monterey Bay.

    Description:

    I think you can tell why this place is called Shark Fin Cove Beach. In any case, I think it’s gorgeous and has to be on this list! Sadly, it too is another spot I missed on the 3 trips I’ve taken across the California Coast. Most of my adventures so far on this coastline have been north of Big Sur, and Shark Fin, like Monterey Bay are south of it, so I highly recommend that if you really want to plan a trip across this coastline, to start in San Diego, and map out all of the locations I am gi...

    Location:

    Right under the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.

    Description:

    San Francisco itself is a very beautiful city and while it has had a lot of troubles, you can’t deny it’s nature is still there and is still beautiful and probably worth visiting and since we’re talking about the coastal areas, San Francisco Bay has to be on the list. There’s tons of attractions and scenic spots there to see, including the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and activities to try such as mountain biking and hiking. One of the most scenic hikes you can do in this region that will giv...
