California Central Coast
California Central Coast
Katie Howerton
Welcome to my completely unorganized but oh-so-helpful map of the central coast of California! An absolute smorgasbord of my own travels and research, suggestions from friends and strangers, and many treasures found along the way, this is where I compile all things this area for my future trips and yours. Things I particularly love that youโll find a lot of:
โ๏ธ Coffee shops & bakeries
๐ฎ Local cuisine
๐๏ธ Museums of all kinds
๐ณ Gardens & parks
๐๏ธ Boutique hotels
๐ Small regional chains with good reputations
All my guides in this category are $5 per 100 places included, but since I add to these constantly, you can lock down the lowest price today and gain a lifetime access!

Post Ranch Inn
@katie.howerton
This hotel is definitely a spurge, but itโs a spot that should be on your bucket list all the same. Each room is designed to optimize the best views of this section of the Big Sur coast with floor to ceiling windows, and the beds in the hotel treehouses even have skylights so that you can take in the stars at night. If youโre really looking to treat yourself, reserve the private home which has a private hot tub overlooking the cliffs.
