The drive winds along some of the most scenic stretches of coastline, moving from open surf beaches into tighter, cliff-hugging roads. Forested hills rise up on one side while the ocean crashes on the other, creating a mix of wide-open views and dramatic turns. It’s a blend of peaceful beach stretches, rugged cliffs, and winding roads, giving you a real sense of the coastline’s raw beauty without ever feeling rushed.
