Best Kid Friendly Pacific Coast Highway Stops
Want to enjoy a bucket list family road trip without the typical "are we there yet" angst? Make the journey itself the destination with a California coast road trip. Here are the best kid friendly Pacific Coast Highway stops to grab a bite, spend the night, or just feel the sand between your toes. The drive is meant for lingering so it's tough to do it all, but the winding, cliff-hugging, oceanfront stretch through Big Sur is not to be missed.
A Pacific Coast Highway vacation with kids pairs well with a visit to San Francisco, Los Angeles, or San Diego!
Brown Butter Cookie Company
Kelly R. said: Brown Butter Cookie Company's friendly flagship store in Cayucos makes for the perfect pit stop to satisfy the sweet tooth, and maybe pick up some souvenirs to share back home. Their seemingly simple Brown Butter Sea Salt shortbread-style cookies are laced with browned butter and come in many flavors - free samples are offered up so you can discover your favorite. The cookies are made on-site, and you'll see the cookie makers at work hand-rolling each one.
Cayucos, CAGiovanni's Fish Market
Kelly R. said: This casual restaurant in Morro Bay serves fresh seafood in a kid friendly atmosphere. Order at the window and enjoy the view of Morro Rock from the outdoor waterfront dining area while you're eating. Visiting during off-peak hours will help you to avoid the lines. Make sure to try the garlic fries!
