Pacific Coast Highway to SF
To really get the most out of the Pacific Coast Highway (either the
four lane rte. 101 or the more daring two lane route 1), you need to
travel south from San Francisco to Los Angeles. The ocean will then
be on your right, making quick stop-offs for sites easier. Follow
rte. 1 south out of San Francisco and you'll wind through the most
amazing rock formations and cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Half Moon Bay, just south of San Francisco and across the coastal
range from Silicone Valley is one of the few places in the Bay area to
enjoy a taditional ocean beach. It is a series of several beachs owned
by the state, and there's a daily charge.
San Francisco
SAN FRAN-CIS-CO! One of the most expensive big cities in the world.
Perhaps with good reason. SF is an East Coast city on the car infested
West Coast. Getting around by foot is easy, if only there weren't so
many steep hills. The downtown is very compact. Chinatown is only a
few blocks away. The marina has a major tourist stroll called
Fisherman's Wharf. Even the famous Golden Gate Bridge can be walked
across (as long as you get back to your car before the parking meter
expires).
