America's most Scenic Drive
Driving from San Luis Obispo to Half Moon Bay on California SR-1 and US-101 through Big Sur and Monterey
If you are a fan of the scenic American pacific coast road trips, then this driving video tour are for you.
It takes place on the scenic ocean cliffs with endless ocean views on the nice weather California day.
This road trip starts a bit inland, in the city called San Luis Obispo, and gradually gets more scenic and scenic, with endless ocean views and ocean cliffs with perfect visibility on the sunny day.
SR 1 splits from US 101 at Santa Rosa Street in San Luis Obispo
It rejoins the coast in Morro Bay, running through that city as a freeway, where it crosses Morro Creek at the site of a prehistoric Chumash settlement dating to the Millingstone Horizon.
From there, SR 1 proceeds north to Cayucos until it again becomes a winding, two lane road with occasional passing lanes.
It then continues along the coast through Cambria and San Simeon, and past the elephant seal colony at Piedras Blancas Light Station.
SR 1 provides access to Hearst Castle in San Simeon in Northern San Luis Obispo County.
Big Sur
Main article: Big Sur Coast Highway
Looking south, showing the McWay Rocks, about 16 miles south of Big Sur
The Bixby Creek Bridge in Big Sur
SR 1 then enters the Big Sur region, crossing San Carpóforo Creek just south of the Monterey County line.
For about 72 miles (116 km) from San Carpóforo Creek to Malpaso Creek, the road winds and hugs the cliffs of Big Sur, passing various coastal parks in the area, with no connection to the other side of the Santa Lucia Mountains except for Nacimiento-Fergusson Road.
The road briefly leaves the coast for a few miles, passing through a redwood forest in the Big Sur River valley.
The Big Sur segment of the highway, built between 1919 and 1937, also crosses a number of now historic bridges, including the scenic Bixby Creek Bridge, a reinforced concrete arch with a 320-foot (98 m) span that passes over the Bixby Creek gorge, the Rocky Creek Bridge, and the Big Creek Bridge.
Monterey Bay Area
After crossing the Carmel River, SR 1 turns inland and runs along the eastern boundary of Carmel before becoming a freeway in Monterey.
After bypassing the immediate coastline of Pebble Beach and the rest of the Monterey Peninsula, the freeway heads north along the coast of Monterey Bay through Sand City, Seaside, and Marina.
At the interchange with SR 156 near Castroville, SR 1 continues north as a two-lane rural road to Moss Landing.
SR 1 becomes a freeway once again just before entering into Santa Cruz County. This four-lane freeway continues up the Monterey Bay coast through Watsonville to its interchange with SR 17 in Santa Cruz.
(This trumpet interchange is locally known as The Fishhook due to its tight loop ramps that resemble a fishhook when viewed from above).
After a short expressway section, it skirts downtown Santa Cruz as four-lane Mission Street, regaining the Cabrillo Highway designation (local/historic name is "Coast Road") after it leaves the city and continues north-west as a two-lane road (with occasional four-lane sections) up the coast.
San Francisco Bay Area
Scene from SR 1 near Half Moon Bay at Tunitas Creek Beach
Entering San Mateo County, SR 1 follows the west coast of the San Francisco Peninsula, passing by the marine mammal colonies at Año Nuevo State Park, and the historic Pigeon Point Lighthouse, before reaching Half Moon Bay.
Between Half Moon Bay and Pacifica, the highway bypasses a treacherous stretch known as Devil's Slide via the Tom Lantos Tunnels.

Drove from San Francisco to LA on Route 1 in the 1990's, still one of the the most beautiful drives in North America!
I want to drive from my city (Vancouver) to LA one day!
Probably the greatest drive of your life. Rog. Pacific sunset records
not if your from the US East Coast!
@@TBgunsandbutter then you'd better travel west on route 66. Rog. Pacific sunset records
@@rogbrown1458 you look familiar where do you work? what’s your name?
Beautiful coastal route, connecting San Luis Obispo to Monterey, one of the most beautiful routes in California. Driving this route is pure pleasure. I live in Chicago, Illinois.
Just looking at this and remembering what I did in the past helped me to relax.
Beautiful seaside road. I drove there (half way) in 22 years ago, good memory
I feel as I riding with you in this marvelous trip . I have enjoyed so much . Thanks it‘s lovely scenic drive. .Greetings from Baghdad
Ty
great drive tour, thank for sharing
Oh, this is so nice! Here we are, cruising right along. I've got "the radio" tuned to: Greatest Hits 70s 80s 90s Dance Megamix - You're My Love, You're My Life - Eurodance 90's Megamix (on a 2nd RUclips page). It sounds great with this drive!
Drove this road in 1988 and loved 😍 it😊
Great video. I drive there twice. It is even more beautiful if you drive from SF to LA because you will get closer to the Pacific Ocean.
ok very very good thanks for the tour , Have a nice day
This drive is partly Highway 101. I love the coast and Highway No. 1.
Thank you for this youtube.
Such an exciting experienced to drive with you my friend! Thanks for this video. Like 972
beautiful your country , greetings from Costa Rica
Hello There, I do find these drives so restful. I can quite see why babies sleep to car drives. The rolling scene is perfect to fall asleep to. Best of luck to you and your channel.
Such an exciting experienced to drive with you my friend! Thanks for this video. Like 972
Nice drive and excellent video. Thanks for showing. Greetings from Hungary.
This is a beautiful drive, no doubt. But you expect it to be, and that takes some of the shine off.
What I didn’t expect (I’m a Brit so only visit the USA every so often) was the I-70 through the San Raphael Swell. Now THAT was stunning!!!
Congratulations for 11k subscribers brother..👍...nd what a beautiful view..thanks for the video
đường cao tốc tất êm và đẹp 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳
Greetings from Algeria 🇩🇿
Anyone looking to take this drive (after the road reopens from the latest landslides that is), driving South is nicer as you would be on the right side/ocean side and it's much easier/safer to use the scenic turnouts. If you do choose to do the Northbound drive, don't take the 101 up to the 46 to get to Highway 1 as shown in this video. Instead, just drive through San Luis Obispo, North on Santa Rosa Street which turns into Highway 1 after about 5 minutes. You will get to pass through the towns of Morro Bay and Cayucos, and be driving alongside the ocean about 40 minutes sooner than is shown in this video.
Wow o so clean and beautiful ❤️🌍☝️💯 from Marcia Parris Robinson Florida ❤️ 🙏🏽
this that good drive right here, turbulent at times
but otherwise good ride. Leggett Valley CA to LA california
did this 10 years ago
This is amazing. I’ll be be visiting soon!!
Excellent work
Very good and funny videos bring a great sense of entertainment!
Beautiful, thanks for the video! ❤
Thank you for this great video the quality is brilliant,I would love to this drive myself. I would probably start in the north and go southbound, hopefully next year.
Only third of the way through the drive but am sleepy!! Ha ha credit to the video but what a lovely drive so far and I am British no roundabouts!!!! Unless it's motorway or as you call it freeway anyway really enjoyed my first visit on the video continue tomorrow ha ha😂
Bathroom break at 4:18:00 lol, that is exactly where I stop every time I drive the coast.
Beautiful tour. Great video 👍
Lovely driving in beautiful city 🤗🤗🥰🇺🇸🥰
Congrats from Brazil!
Beautiful
Приємно подивитися відео с іншої країни. 👍
Yes it is 😉
It feels like driving on the wrong side of the road.. Uk is right hand drive
i can feel the heat......
Beautiful area. I pray to God that I can do this drive again soon.
Man, I really like your videos. Could you tell me which camera you used for these videos ?
This drive is quite equivalent to our North Coast Road (Trinidad), and the Northside Road (Tobago)...but *MUCH* longer.
Excellent video. What kind of vehicle are you driving?
Good question, my guess is a Tesla
Hi, great video. Was your camera in the car? On dash board or stick to wind shield? Thanks.
Ummm, listen to that engine purrrrr! What sort of motor have we got there, under that hood? Are y'all cool back there, in the backseat? Should I adjust the vent any? How 'bout passing me a Coke out of that ice chest. It'll be good with these barbeque pork rinds! Ah, just look at that scenery!
@4:03:13 yo dude, eyes on the road XD
Amazing ride
The drive from Monterey to San Louis Obispo is much more scenic since the Pacific is on your right all the way. Not many spots to take a pee either!
In July this year I drove there and enjoyed sea food in Malibu...very nice, will publish in my channel iBloom soon.
New GTA mod looks good.
Hi, thanks for putting this up. I'm going to SD in August and driving to SF. I'm a bit afraid of open spaces, but based on your video, it's something I think I can do. I have a couple of questions: 1.) Might you know the average speed you were driving ? and 2.) It seems very lightly traveled, especially going North. Do you know if that might be the norm, or it just happened not too busy on the day you made the video ? Thanks, John
Wow, here I am in Australia watching roads I have driven on quite a few times. I was a bit confused at the start as I would have gone via Morro Bay, but Google maps helped me out. Last trip over there in 2019, we came down the 101 from SF and cut across on the 46 but turned off at Old Creek Rd (37.50 on your vid.) A bit twisty but a nice detour. I've done the coast trip 5 times and if we ver get back, it will be 6.
Great video and I'm interested as to your camera?
Do all those eucalyptus trees in California remind you of Australia? We imported those trees from Australia to the U.S. many decades ago and it was a BIG mistake. Their wood is useless, the leaves are poisonous (which kills nearby vegetation), and they burn like motherfuckers when exposed to wildfires.
@@tacocruiser4238 First time I saw one was on Alcatraz and I didn't know about them being imported over there. I think they were used for railroad sleepers (ties). Yes, they do burn but they regrow and they aren't as bad as pine trees. We have also imported things which would have probably been better off left where they were, but that's history now.
Watching stoned off my ass. 10 stars!
What a beautiful drive. Too bad it's in California.
Maybe in future drives you have or will take, take out the sound and add soft music to it. That way you can talk, scream, sing, listen to music etc so iys not so boring for you!
3:34:40 yo my hometown
3:07:04-3:08:44, Carmel Valley, California
Where you put camera
Missed a whole section
Can anyone tell me the purpose of the stickers on the windshield of the Nissan at 3:25:50
Any particular reason or just a try to lock cool/stupid/whatever
My guess, it's a car dealer. And the stickers are the vehicle features.

الطش الي تعرفه
It look nice out in California .only thing mountain to tall. Than if you want to take a hike to the mountain.you night run in to a large 🐻 lol
Why does the motor sound like it's hitting 5K rpm constantly, as if the gearbox is botched or the engine only can make like 100hp
This guy doesn't speak
To bad you had to drive on the unpaved road beautiful area i lived a little further up in Stinson Beach loved it there
How on earth is this the most scenic drive in America when we have Colorado, Death Valley, Arizona, Utah, etc. highways?
Is this why 1/10th of the US population resides here?
X1
There for the scenery, not your driving. Would subscribe if you slowed the hell down so I could enjoy the view.
That was pretty boring..
instant dislike for the 30FPS...
