San Luis Obispo - Scenic Drives

California's coast is hundreds and hundreds of miles long and the coast near San Luis Obispo provides some of its most dramatic overlooks of the ocean. Taking a long, leisurely drive along the shoreline, watching the waves crash fiercely against the cliffs blow, is something you must do while you stay in San Luis Obispo.

The San Luis Obispo North Coast Byway is a particularly visually rich ride, through bird preserves, long stretches of winery after winery, and past some of the markets that are everywhere in the San Luis Obispo area.
