Hidden Coast of California

by Ray Riegert

With over 500 pages dedicated exclusively to the California coast, this is a guidebook of contrasts. The three major coastal cities - San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego - are covered, but the majority of the guide is devoted to the infrequently covered, charming seaside communities (including Santa Barbara, Monterey, and Mendocino), and over 1000 miles of beaches and coastline. Award-winning author Ray Riegert reviews all the usual travel attractions while leading visitors to dozens of hidden spots, small hotels, and restaurant gems. Perfect for out-of-state visitors, Hidden Coast of California also offers countless suggestions for locals looking for a weekend getaway.

Just read through this, planning our spring trip down the Cali coast. Wish the "hidden" tips were more exciting or out of the way or jazzy or something but, the book covered the basic information I needed and will be a good manual to take along (well highlighted with all our favorites) as we take the great drive down the coast.

I found this gem for 50 cents at a library bookstore. Even thought it was 8 years old when we used it down Highway 1, it was a great resource. I will definitely be looking for a more recent edition next time we head down the PCH!
