Probably Malibu. There are some nice sections from Huntington Beach to San Clemente but it's a long trek on freeways from Santa Monica Huntington Beach

I just got back from a week trip down the PCH. I wouldn't go much further than Malibu, just my two. Traffic is always a pain on the PCH in certain areas. Near to LA its worse.

1 pretty much goes inland below Cambria until ya get closer to LA on 101. It is just LA traffic along the water below Malibu but there are some nice beaches in LA if that is your thing.

Done it many times including last week. Go to Malibu if you haven't been here before.

Thank you
Please say more about your itinerary. Where in northern California will you start the ride? How long? When? What kind of stuff do you generally like to stop at when riding?
