California Coast Top Tips From Our Travel Experts
Andy Boyce
Santa Barbara is a beautiful small city surrounded by mountains and sea. The main beach is big and flat with easy parking, and there are other beaches close by such as Hendry's which feel more like a local. The mission is worth a visit, as is the courthouse which offers free entry and great views from the tour. There's also great shopping, eating and drinking on State Street.
Lanie Shand
Santa Cruz is a great alternative to Monterey Bay with a lovely beach, a laid back atmosphere with access wildlife tours to see the whales and otters. It's a great place to stay at the beginning or end of your California road trip, especailly if you want the thrills of the Beach Boardwalk Amusement Park with its classic wooden roller coaster!
