Overview

This experience begins with a single, approachable surf stop in Pacifica, then opens into a thoughtfully paced journey along the Northern California coast. Rather than following a rigid checklist, the day unfolds based on conditions, timing, and the natural rhythm of the coastline. Guests experience dramatic headlands, coastal wetlands, historic landmarks, and relaxed food and drink pauses along the way.

Select stops are optional and curated. These may include a visit to a working goat farm in Pescadero, where guests can meet the animals and purchase locally made goat cheese and honey. The emphasis is not on covering as much ground as possible, but on experiencing the coast as locals do—unhurried, immersive, and grounded in place.

What's Included

  • Lunch A casual coastal lunch featuring locally prepared food, enjoyed at a scenic stop overlooking the Pacific.
  • Bottled water
  • Private transportation
  • Dinner Dinner is not included. We make a stop at Highway 1 Brewing Company, where food is available for purchase.
