Beaches and Surfing: Because it is located along the Pacific coast, California is a surfer's haven. Rent a cheap car and travel along Highway 1 between Santa Cruz and Half Moon Bay. Here you will have a plethora of surf beaches from which to choose. If you are visiting California during the winter months then a great place to catch some waves is Santa Ana. The Pacific swells are simply enormous here and the surf is like pure glass. There are miles of beaches between Santa Cruz and Huntington Beach, and the top surfing spots are Rincon, Malibu and Steamer Lane.
State Parks: There are tons of State Parks in California so rent a cheap car, purchase a map and be on your way! Angel Island, Border Field, Butano and Clear Lake are just a few of the outstanding parks located in California. Visiting Calaveras Big Trees State Park is a must.
