A Place Apart<br />
Highway 1—also known as Pacific<br />
Coast Highway, Cabrillo Highway,<br />
Shoreline Highway and Coast<br />
Highway—spans from Mexico<br />
to Washington State. Starting<br />
in 1919, the road was built in<br />
sections with labor from locals,<br />
including author John Steinbeck.<br />
ROCK OUT IN MORRO BAY<br />
Head north on Highway 1 and get a photo beside famous<br />
Morro Rock, a state landmark, volcanic remnant and local<br />
icon that towers at a height of 576 feet. Drive out to its base<br />
and bring your binoculars to spy peregrine falcons, as this is<br />
a designated bird sanctuary. (Just don’t bring your climbing<br />
shoes: scaling Morro Rock is illegal.) If you have an extra<br />
minute, catch the Morro Bay Skateboard Museum on the<br />
Embarcadero, which features the history of skateboarding<br />
since the 1930s and displays over 200 boards. ><br />
