3-Day California Coast Tour: LA → Santa Barbara → Carmel → San Francisco

Day 1: Depart from Los Angeles and drive up the Pacific Coast to Santa Barbara - explore the Spanish-mission architecture and seaside vibe. Continue through the Danish-inspired village of Solvang, then head toward the Monterey Peninsula/ Carmel region for the evening.

Day 2: Travel the famed Pacific Coast Highway, stopping at Big Sur’s cliff-hugging vistas, the iconic Bixby Bridge, and Carmel-by-the-Sea’s quaint streets and galleries. Overnight here gives time to breathe and wander.

Day 3: Arrive in San Francisco - enjoy views of the Golden Gate Bridge, stroll Fisherman’s Wharf and explore the city’s signature neighborhoods. Your guide handles logistics and transport so you can relax and soak in the scenery.
Bring layers (coastal weather varies), comfortable shoes, camera, and a mindset ready for both nature and city contrast.
