TRAVEL GUIDE: CALIFORNIA CENTRAL COAST

This section of the Golden State — roughly from Monterey on the north to Santa Barbara on the South — contains no large cities on the scale of LA, San Francisco or San Diego, allowing the focus to be on the area's natural beauty. Drive the world-famous Pacific Coast Highway through rugged mountains and enjoy dazzling views of the Pacific and the state's third-biggest wine region (behind Napa and Sonoma) in Paso Robles.
