California 1

Highway 1 in California, USA, connects San Francisco and Los Angeles from north to south. It winds along the west coast of the United States from San Diego in the south to Leggett in the northernmost part of California, where it joins Highway 101. It is over 1,000 kilometers long. On one side is the vast sea and sky and the waves crashing on the shore, with sails dotted and gray whales cruising; on the other side are steep cliffs and mountains, lush pastures, herds of cattle and horses, and the beauty is breathtaking. This road is known as the most beautiful road in the world and was also rated as one of the 50 places you must visit in your life by the National Geographic Magazine of the United States. If Highway 1 is divided into three sections, we just walked the middle section, San Francisco-Los Angeles, a total of more than 800 kilometers. First day check-in attractions: Stanford University, Monterey Pier, 17 Mile, Purple Sand Beach, Bixby Bridge, Elephant Seal Beach.

Monterey Bay

Monterey Bay is located on the Pacific coast of California, USA, between the two major cities of San Francisco and Los Angeles. Monterey Canyon is one of the largest underwater canyons in the world, and Asilomar State Marine Sanctuary is a marine sanctuary in Monterey Bay. Like underwater parks, these marine sanctuaries help protect marine wildlife and marine ecosystems.

First purchase on here and the ticket sounded almost too good to be true. Took my chance on them, and they worked without issue. Got scanned into the aquarium and had a blast with the kiddo. Took a family of 5 for the price of 2 people. Very good deal. Will buy from again.

Came on September 26, 2017. Highway 1 self-driving tour is an important way to visit Western/California tourism in the United States, especially the coastal section near Monterey County. It is the best and easiest part of the self-driving tour. There are more than ten viewing spots on a section of the road, and there are clear signs, you can prepare a map, or drive directly down the road. This road not only has natural landscapes (such as the raging Relentless Sea), magical animal paradise (such as Bird Rock and Seaal Rock), but also the relics of the ancestors who broke into the west (China Rock), setting up everyone to pile stones (in Spanish Bay)...Although it has been open along the coast, In fact, the scenery everywhere is not the same. The whole journey is stopped and stopped, 4 or 5 hours are needed, there are not many restaurants along the way, everyone is best to bring their own dry food.
