This book was very helpful for me. I read about several little local places that I had never heard of in all of my internet searches of the area. It’s not the only travel book I will be purchasing but definetely a great addition!
Rating: 5 / 5
This book does not include everything that you need to know about the PCH, but makes a pretty good attempt. It’s the most up to date book on places to stay, eat, and attractions to visit along the highway including necessary phone numbers and websites. (very handy!) It has pictures of the major attractions, small but effective maps in each of the major cities and in each state, and local event information for certain towns and cities. The author also tells when the best times to visit for things such as:whale watching in Oregon or Monarch butterfly gatherings in California. Another nice feature is that it tells the reader of local legends, past-times, festivals, and customs that shows what makes each little (and big) town distinctive from one another. What’s more is that it is just small enough to fit inside a purse or back pocket for when you are ready to make that awesome roadtrip. The only thing I can really say that is disappointing about it, is that it just doesn’t seem long enough. I wish he would’ve added another 50-100 pages of stories and attractions. Do not use this book as your only reference.
