Pacific Coast & Skyline Blvd Drive

01 Jun

SKYLINE BLVD DRIVE ROUTE SUGGESTION

Meet at Fort Funston at 10:30AM, and drive South from there to Santa Cruz along Skyline Blvd (Hwy 35). Expect temperatures in the mid-60s and possibly fog in San Francisco, so the first stop will be a stop will be a 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.
Halfway down Skyline, stop at Alice’s Restaurant for bathroom and beverages, and then head down the hill to eat lunch at the Crows Nest. After lunch, drive along Cliff Drive through Santa Cruz and then head up Highway 1 along the coast.
