Highway 1 is America's ultimate coastal drive: Golden Gate views out of San Francisco, the Monterey peninsula, the drama of Big Sur across Bixby Creek Bridge, and down into sunny Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. Every leg follows the real Pacific Coast Highway curves right along the cliff edges.

Load the route, add your favourite beach or taco stops, and attach a photo at each viewpoint. In forty seconds, your video tells the full California coastal road trip story.

## FAQ

### Does it follow the actual Pacific Coast Highway?

Yes -- drive legs are routed on the real road network, hugging the coastline through Big Sur and Malibu rather than cutting inland.

### Can I start in Los Angeles and drive north?

Reorder the stops to run LA -> San Francisco and the animation plays northbound with the exact same road precision.

### Is this free to use?

Loading, customising and exporting HD videos is free with a small badge. Pro adds 4K, 60fps and removes the badge.
