San Francisco–Monterey Self-Guided Pacific Coast Audio Drive

Turn the Pacific Coast Highway between San Francisco and Monterey into a flexible, self-guided road trip. GPS-triggered stories play automatically through your smartphone as you pass Devil’s Slide, Half Moon Bay, Pescadero, Pigeon Point, Año Nuevo, Shark Fin Cove, Natural Bridges, Santa Cruz and Elkhorn Slough. Start at either end, drive in either direction, pause for viewpoints and explore on your schedule. Pigeon Point’s grounds remain open, although the lighthouse tower is closed for restoration. Download before departure; no signal is required during the tour. Transportation, parking, attraction admission, a smartphone and an in-person guide are not included.
