coastal highways
Seaside driving routes
Coastal highways are roads that run along or near a shoreline, often offering scenic ocean or sea views.
They range from winding cliffside routes to flat stretches through beach towns: We drove the coastal highway from Big Sur to Carmel.
Famous examples include California's Pacific Coast Highway and Australia's Great Ocean Road.
