SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COASTAL EXPLORER SCOUTING

This all-paved motorcycle adventure was created to give riders the ultimate SoCal coastal experience within six days of riding. Day one has us meandering off the direct route in between Long Beach and Ojai in search of curvy roads. We’ll spend two nights in Morro Bay as well as Monterey allowing us to spend more time enjoying the spectacular out-rides and less time on packing and unpacking. We’ll cruise south on the Pacific Coast Highway from Monterey to Santa Barbara with the ocean and the many scenic viewpoints to our right providing the best opportunities to stop for some of the best scenic photos and wildlife viewing. The trip concludes as we return to our Long Beach, California facility.

 

Road Conditions: This motorcycle tour features excellent paved, twisty tarmac and open highways. This itinerary was curated to feature resplendent roads along the Southern California coast.

DAY 3 - Ojai to Morro Bay - 220 Miles

We're leaning into as many scenic routes as possible on this adventure, so expect winding country roads and byways as we make our way to Morro Bay. Stretch your legs after the ride with a stroll out to the iconic Morro Rock, and check out the otters and sea lions in the bay. Stay in Morro Bay.

We're cruising south on Pacific Coast Highway, making it easy to pull off for spectacular viewpoints, so keep your camera with you today! We're riding through Big Sur, and stopping to check out the elephant seals in San Simeon on our way to Santa Barbara. Stay in Santa Barbara.

DAY 8 - Santa Barbara to Long Beach - 140 Miles

From the coastline, over more hills and through a few last canyons, we're going to have a bit more fun before returning the motorcycles to the barn. Break bread with your new friends one more time. Stay in Long Beach.
