Starbucks in Pacifica (also the last gas stop). Skyline Blvd is a gently winding mostly shaded road at the top of the Santa Cruz Mountains, with views of the San Francisco Bay Area to the East and the ocean to the West.

Crows Nest. After lunch, drive along Cliff Drive through Santa Cruz and then head up Highway 1 along the coast.
