Driving the Pacific Coast Highway:
Planning Your PCH Road Trip

Planning a road trip along America's Pacific Coast? Then make the most of the Pacific Coast Highway, which has been called both America's Most Beautiful Drive and America's Best Free Attraction. And how better to plan your Pacific Coast Highway trip than in the company of two award-winning travel writers who have driven the highway several times and are happy to share their experiences with you. We want to help you have the best PCH trip possible.

Get the information on making that PCH road trip, research your routes, where to stay, where to eat, the best beaches, the wonderful wildlife (including the extremely popular whale watching cruises), the scenery, beautiful gardens to visit, the places to see, the books to read, the cheap flights to get you there, and more here at Pacific Coast Highway Travel.

AS SEEN ON TV!
We recently helped LA’s KABC show Eye on LA with a special they did on the Pacific Coast Highway. It’s a great show that explores lots of fun things to do that are close to Los Angeles, from wine-tasting in Malibu to golf in Newport Beach, where we filmed the interview. You can see the show online here.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Mike Gerrard and Donna Dailey have written over 50 guidebooks between them, for people like National Geographic, AAA, Insight Guides, Michelin, Thomas Cook, Moon Handbooks and Dorling Kindersley. They've written for newspapers and magazines worldwide, and have won several awards for their books and their travel writing and photography.

Mike and Donna have traveled the world, but their favorite part is America's west coast. It has some of the finest scenery on the planet, and in the Pacific Coast Highway one of the most beautiful road trips in the world. Enjoy this website where they share their Top Ten PCH driving tips, those beautiful beaches, finest restaurants, and the best places to stay on the way.

From Washington through Oregon and California, Mike and Donna cover all the attractions the west coast has to offer. Whether you're on four wheels, two wheels or just two feet, the Pacific Coast has great scenery, awe-inspiring wildlife, fishing and golf. And it's all just a mouse-click away.

Thanks to the Interstate Highway System, it is now possible to travel from coast to coast without seeing anything.

PCH Hotels Guide

Pacific Coast Highway Hotels Guide 2011

To help you in choosing your Pacific Coast Highway hotel, guesthouse, inn, bed-and-breakfast, resort, motel or other accommodations, we've prepared our Pacific Coast Highway Hotels Guide ebook. In it we do mini-reviews of accommodations along the Highway, from Seattle to San Diego, through Washington, Oregon, and California.

For the 2011 edition we added new hotels, including a special 50-hotel section covering California’s wine country of Napa, Sonoma, and Paso Robles - by far the most popular diversion from the PCH drive. In all there are over 200 hotels listed, complete with 8 pages of color maps showing the towns where our recommended hotels can be found. There are both alphabetical and geographical indexes, helping you plan your journey.

We also include color photos of all the hotels that are our Personal Favorites. Here's the link to
