Spend some more time exploring San Francisco, perhaps discovering buzzing North Beach, before boarding the coach for the journey south to the classic Californian resort town and surfing mecca of Santa Cruz. Step back in time as you discover the historic 1930s boardwalk with its quirky wooden rollercoaster.

Journey south today, via the Monterey peninsular - home to Cannery Row - Clint Eastwood's beloved Carmel, and the vertiginous, scenic glories of the Pacific Coast Highway and Big Sur. You'll end with a visit to the wildly extravagant Hearst Castle, magnificent 'holiday home' of the infamous newspaper magnate, before overnighting in Santa Barbara.
