Just a note, KPCC is an LA-area radio station. This list reflects an assumption that visitors are driving north from L.A. Those traveling south from San Francisco, Oakland, or San Jose can reach the northern part of the central coast without a lengthy detour. In fact, there's no detour at all to visit the beautiful coastline from Half Moon Bay down through Santa Cruz to Monterey.
