    We stopped in Monterey 1 night and then had 2 nights at Pismo Beach at Kontiki Inn. Fantastic place on the beach.

    I second the above recommendation for Kon Tiki Inn, we had 2 nights there and wished we could have had more.

    We drove from SF to Yosemite then back to the coast at Monterey Bay for 3 (or 4?) nights, Pismo Beach then Ventura for 2 nights so we could do a day at Six Flags MM.

    From there we were meant to fly home out of LAX, but that volcano erupted in Iceland and we ended up with 5 days/nights in Anaheim and another couple at Long Beach as a bonus before flying home :D

    If any other members reading this thread haven't driven the California coastal highway and are wondering what we're all drooling over...

    If you're passing by SLO, Pismo Beach, Arroyo Grande, take the chance to visit Doc Bernsteins.

    Another vote for San Luis Obispo - really nice town. We stopped twice on the way from SF to San Diego - once at Carmel Valley at this place which was lovely: http://loslaureles.com/ and once at San Luis Obispo.

    It is a really lovely drive and we were glad to take our time.
