Jalama Beach (Pass By)
An optional detour leads to Jalama Beach, a quiet alternative to some of the coast's more crowded shorelines. Because it's off the beaten path, this beach doesn't see nearly as many visitors as some of the others you'll pass on your journey, making it a great spot for the crowd-averse travelers.

You'll definitely want to stop at this vista point for a few photos. As you proceed down PCH, the California landscape changes dramatically, meaning no one overlook is ever the same as the next!

Carpinteria State Beach (Pass By)
