Malibu drive, LA


Let me begin with a little intro about this drive which is never called Pacific Coast Highway by its local, but PCH(which very much remind me of PCM /PCB ,the most used abbreviations during our inter school day). LA's signature drive which never leave you appalled as you view the sun kissed road and beaches on one side with multimillionaire's home on the other side set atop the mountains. 
The best part is you don't need GPS or map just follow the curvy road along the coastline. 

--Santa Barbara--

We began from Santa Barbara during one of our epic road trip up from CA to LA.  The famous part of PCH through Big Sur starts at least a 2 - 3 hour journey north of Santa Barbara. The drive that is always beautiful be it in December when sands are barren and waves are chilly or in summer when the beach is filled with dogs running with waves, volleyball games and surfers waiting for the next set. 
Walk over the boardwalk till the end as you enjoy the big fat seals snoring and barking while you enjoy a full crab at crab shacks.

  


--Zuma Beach--

With 21 miles of coastline and lot of beaches and attraction we made our second stop at Zuma Beach. It was all so barren that we almost felt we own the beach and no one will mind if we do a part of our silly acts on the sand. 
I don't think i need to write here a lot but let the pictures do the talking. 








--Santa Monica--

 If you're coming from the LA area, you can join PCH / Highway 1 in Santa Monica. It will take you along the coast and through Malibu. It does have nice views and gets you off the 405/101 which do not have such attractive scenery.Once you get to Oxnard the PCH will re-join the 101 to continue your journey up to SB. From Malibu it's about a 2 hour drive if you take your time.
Another major stop you should not miss and take a brisk stroll to the pier. 

--Venice Beach--
