4The Pacific Coast

The Pacific Coast, stretching from Southern California to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington, offers some of the most stunning and diverse coastal scenery in the world. In California, the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) provides breathtaking views of the coastline as it winds along the cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

Big Sur, with its dramatic cliffs and secluded beaches, is one of the highlights of the Pacific Coast. Further north, Oregon’s coast is known for its rugged beauty, with towering sea stacks, expansive beaches, and charming seaside towns like Cannon Beach. The Olympic Peninsula in Washington offers a blend of temperate rainforests, alpine mountains, and coastal beauty, making it one of the most diverse regions in the U.S.
