What to do along California's Highway 1
Summer technically ends on September 21st, so you definitely have enough time for one last road trip. If you're looking for places to go, may we recommend California's Highway 1?
In this photo taken Tuesday, May 14, 2013 cars park for free above Ocean Beach in San Francisco. For the right to frolic in the sand, sunbathers to Southern California beaches are used to feeding the meter or paying a parking attendant. Not so along the less developed north coast where it's customary to ditch cars on the shoulder of Highway 1 to surf, swim or picnic.That sandy line that long defined California's disparate beach culture may soon fade. In search of new revenue, the state parks system is eyeing parking fees for parts of the Northern California shoreline where none existed or hiking rates to visit popular beaches south of Los Angeles during peak periods.
