I am visiting the central coast in a couple week. I will be based in Pismo Beach for 3 days and Monterey for 2 days. What are you must see/do things in these areas?
Is the Steinbeck tour an official thing?Kayaking among the sea otters in Monterey Bay, walking the Steinbeck Cannery Row history tour, whale watching. Eat dinner at the family owned places (check on yelp) and avoid the chains like Bubba Gumps
How long does it typically take so do the 17 mile drive? It’ll just be me. Not planning on lunch while I am there (that is what breweries are for )Hub and I drive and car camp + hike up there 3-4 times a year.
Pismo Pier , Oceano Dunes slightly to the south (Disney Pirates filmed there). There is Avila and the pier a few miles north.
Morro Bay State Park. Kayak in early AM or drive out to the rock. Montana De Oro State Park to the south.
Hwy 1 can be an E-ride in an RV, and take your time. It's another 2-3 hours up to Monterey Bay on 101. Monterey Aquarium (Reservations required). Coastal bike/ hike trail into Pacific Grove - Asilomar. Carmel 17 mile Drive (Pay for a pass) You can pop up slightly north to Santa Cruz too.
Have fun!
