"I will answer the part between Los Angeles and San Francisco. On the way up the coast from my perspective here are the places worth stopping / possibly staying. Santa Barbara - People love it, but I haven't quite figured out why. The town is sub-par, not so charming and lots of homeless people. The beach is detached from the town. I think that people like it if they are staying in homes or ranches on the hillside. There are also vineyards but I haven't visited them. I would say unless you are spending time at a resort such as Bacara Resort & Spa or Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara doesn't need a night...perhaps just a pit stop. Solvang - Small town in wine country that is 100% Danish. It feels like a charming european town. Hand full of mediocre inns. The one nicer hotel I am aware of is HOTEL CORQUE Los Olivos - Haven't been but people love it. Small quaint town in wine country. This is smaller than Solvang and more charming, but I haven't personally been there. Pismo Beach - This is probably what Santa Monica was like 50 years ago. It is an untouched California beach town that probably feels exactly like it did 30 years ago. Its not very crowded, has a beautiful stretch of beach but is also slightly run-down with older motels. Its possible that when we visited we missed the newer side. In either case this was a fun beach for our dog to run around because there weren't many people at all. We just stopped here for dinner and some beach time but didn't sleep here. San Simeon - This is pretty empty but gorgeous stretch of coastline with a few older hotels that aren't very nice but do the job. The big attraction here is Hearst Castle but we didn't have time to visit it. They are not dog friendly. Sam Simeon was used as a pit-stop for a night, but it was purely just for a place to sleep. Cambria - One of the scariest places I've been. It is 100% a ghost town....meaning actual ghosts *live here. It felt like it was straight out of an RL Stine or Stephen King book. Bizarre place. Big Sur - This is AMAZINGLY beautiful mountainous coastline. Tons of places to pull over and take pictures and a a handful of hikes along the way. Must stop at McWay Falls for photos. A cool place to stop for food and a nice walk is Ragged Point. There is also a hotel here that seems to be a perfect place to stay given its gorgeous plot of land. It feels like a highway rest-stop/biker stop with live music and lots of biker people. Moving up the coast a great place to have lunch is Ventana Inn (."  See More

"You can pass through famous California Coastal towns like Mendocino, Jenner and Bodega (where the Alfred Hitchcock movie "the birds" was filmed) before you get to San Francisco (crossing the Golden Gate Bridge and then you can check out places like Fisherman's Wharf & San Francisco Chinatown."  See More

"This is old army battery site is just west of the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge."  See More

"Wake up a little early and head across the Golden Gate Bridge by bike or on foot."  See More

"Cross the Golden Gate Bridge into Sausalito."  See More

"Once you cross the Golden Gate Bridge, theres this little area to rest and go to the bathroom."  See More

"It's a small part of the city with good places to eat (Le Marais Bistro and Bakery, Isa Restaurant, A16, Mamacita) and within walking distance of many iconic sites, like Palace of Fine Arts, Presidio and Yoda Fountain, as well as Crissy Field - which provides great views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz."  See More

"I would definitely suggest getting off at Golden Gate Park, if it's a nice day you can get off at Golden Gate Bridge and walk a little across the bridge and come back, you can also visit the area around the bridge which shows a dissected view of the cables."  See More

"When driving across to the north side, be sure to take first exit out towards Sausalito (also worth visiting if you have the time for great views of San Francisco over the Bay) and turn left to go under highway to the other side where you can go up to the lookouts via a steep winding road with simple awesome views of San Francisco and the Golden Gate - this is where they film all those shots in movies of San Francisco with the Golden Gate Bridge (it’s called Battery Spencer)."  See More

"Great time to visit is after school starts. Prices cheaper, crowds lessen. Avoid Fishermans Wharf except for a stroll to eat some fresh crab or shrimp cocktail. Get from curb vendor with loaf of sourdough bread and enjoy ambience outside as Sept, Oct warmest months. Dining pretty good throughout city, don’t be afraid to try a place that appears interesting. Some great food places in North Beach​. If getting seafood at wharf consider a pier 39 boat tour (either to Sausalito​ for romantic dinner seaside or Golden Gate Bridge​, circle Alcatraz Island​. If driving to SF consider a stop at Treasure Island​ mid way on Oakland Bay Bridge​. Consider bike rental especially for GG bridge. Check out well priced underrated museums and must stop Golden Gate Park​ if possible via bike (many rentals and motorized bicycles help). Make time for unplanned fun as something will intrigue you that you’d like to experience. Be open, alert and enjoy."
