California Coast Trek

Trek Overview

Trek Description

California’s bright, sunny days and cooling ocean breezes make biking its coastline a summer in paradise. You’ll start this trip in bike-friendly San Francisco, seeing the Golden Gate Bridge and historic Fisherman’s Wharf, then head south, staying in lighthouse hostels, and travel on to Big Sur for great hiking and camping. Get plenty of swimming and sun on the beaches through Santa Barbara and Santa Monica, and finish your adventure with three days sightseeing in Los Angeles.
Much of our California Coast route follows the Pacific Coast Highway, the winding, scenic road high above the ocean you’ve seen in movies and on TV. Bike this trip and you’ll see that California was made for biking!
This trip is best suited for experienced bikers comfortable on roads with some traffic.

Incredible Scenery


With dramatic cliffs on one side and wave-crashing beaches on the other, there is rarely a dull sight along the Pacific Coast Highway.

Endless Beaches


As you head south along the California Coast, you will never get lost as long as you keep the ocean to your right hand side. That's what's so great about biking the California Coast- endless beaches.
