Favorite Drives: Trip to the Beach
On our first date, my husband gave me several choices for activities we could do, and I opted for a drive in his 1957 chopped and lowered bug. I picked the route — some favorite roads that I bike on, with a stop at the beach. We started in Redwood City, California, drove west on Woodside Road, left on Pescadero Creek Rd (which winds through the redwoods), right on Stage to Hwy 1 (we stopped at San Gregorio State Beach), then north along 1 to Hwy 92, right on Skyline (Hwy 84) back to Woodside Rd. Click on the map below to get directions. (A good place to stop for lunch is Duarte’s on Stage Rd.) If you have a favorite drive, let me know in the comments.
I love to take 280 to 84 (Woodside Road) from my home in Mountain View. In 25 minutes (on my BWM motorcycle) I can be up in the redwoods by Alice’s, which feels so different from flats of Silicon Valley. Pescadero Creek Road is one of my favorite local roads in the Bay area too! Nice loop you laid out! San Gregorio Beach is great too. Make sure you stop at the General Store next time just a mile or so back up 84 (east). - Richard
