1 week in California for 40th
Our take
Get ready for an epic California adventure as you celebrate your 40th birthday! This week-long trip promises a perfect blend of breathtaking scenery, relaxation, and unforgettable experiences. Picture yourself standing among majestic redwoods, cruising the stunning Pacific Coast Highway, and unwinding at a semi-luxury resort with spectacular views. While you’ve explored LA and enjoyed a quick San Francisco visit, you can still catch a glimpse of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge.
I’m planning a 40th birthday trip to California (from Florida) this summer with my partner and would love some guidance. My vision is a mix of bucket-list experiences like seeing the redwoods and driving parts of the Pacific Coast Highway paired with a few relaxing days at a semi-luxury resort with beautiful views (either ocean or forest). I’ve been to LA before with friends and have done a quick trip to San Francisco, so I don’t feel the need to fully explore those cities again, though I wouldn’t mind finally seeing the Golden Gate Bridge.
Originally I was thinking of flying into San Francisco and out of LAX, but the more I research, the more overwhelmed I get with options. Would love recommendations for a well paced 7 day itinerary that balances scenery, relaxation, and a bit of adventure.

- Planning a California trip — would love some advice 🙏So, me and my husband are planning a 2 week trip to the US, flying in and out of San Francisco and we will have a car for the whole trip. Ideally, I want a mix of cities, scenic drives, and 1 week based in LA (not rushed). We came up with this plan and wanted some actual experienced people to maybe give their advice. So here's the plan: Days 1–3: San Francisco Day 1: Arrival, Embarcadero, Ferry Building, easy dinner Day 2: Golden Gate Bridge, Palace of Fine Arts, Presidio, Marina Day 3: Alcatraz (morning), Mission District, Dolores Park, Twin Peaks sunset Day 4: Drive SF → Monterey / Carmel Stops: Half Moon Bay, Santa Cruz, 17-Mile Drive Overnight in Carmel or Monterey Day 5: Big Sur → Santa Barbara Bixby Bridge, scenic Big Sur stops Overnight in Santa Barbara Days 6–12: Los Angeles (7 nights, likely West Hollywood base) Day 13: LA → Palm Springs / Joshua Tree Drive to Palm Springs (~2h), optional Joshua Tree sunset Overnight in Palm Springs Day 14: Drive back via Yosemite → San Francisco Very early start Quick Yosemite Valley stops Continue to SF for departure Main questions: Is Day 14 (Palm Springs → Yosemite → SF) too unrealistic? Would you break that into 2 days? If yes, where’s the best stop? Any must-stop places along the coast I’m missing? Is 7 nights in LA too much / too little? Any areas you’d change for staying in LA? Any place I'm missing on the way? Generally, any improvement to this plan would be welcome. Open to all suggestions — especially from people who’ve done a similar loop 🙌 submitted by /u/balialu [link] [comments]
- West Coast USA Trip Ideas?Order of wants: Nature/mountains with some hiking Good vegetarian food options Potential for pop culture stuff (we’re huge movie people) Husband and I got married a month ago and still don’t know where to go for our honeymoon. We initially had Seattle chosen for hiking and Twin Peaks (tv show) locations, but I’ve already been to Seattle and think we should go somewhere entirely new. We’re from Chicago and my husband has never seen mountains, so I really want to be sure we see some for him. I also thought of going to Redwoods, but it seems like a lot of driving/traveling to and from airports and central areas. We’ll probably rent a car and have 6 full days of traveling - maybe in June. Please help plan our trip lol :( submitted by /u/walgreensfan [link] [comments]
- Californians, Which City Should I Visit?I'm a fairly broke college student who really, really needs a vacation. My friend and I would like to visit California for about a week. We are from the East Coast and looking for a change of scenery. That being said, what city should I visit? Here's some criteria/info: We would be 21 at the time of the trip Walkability is big. We like to avoid spending money on Uber/Lyft. We like to eat everything and anything We love the beach We enjoy a good club/party scene for nightlife We really enjoy museums and cool shops submitted by /u/StandSwimming386 [link] [comments]
- Pacific West Coast Romantic Getawayhi! my (27f) boyfriend (31m) and I want to take a trip to the PWC this year for vacation. We are looking at going sometime in September, as the prices for where we are looking seem better around that time of year. We love to travel together. We love both beach and mountain vacations. We really enjoy hiking, sightseeing, the beach, and cute little towns with great food//local small businesses. Excursion wise, we really just like to relax or hike, but we do like to kayak, fish and do boat tours/rides as well. My boyfriend does not drink. We are planning to go for about 4-5 nights. We will also be renting a car. Mainly looking at between end of August - Early October. Here’s our thoughts/ideas so far, and where has stood out to us: - Carmel//Monterey, California: this has always been a dream destination of mine in the US. Seems like the best of both worlds destination - hiking, views, the beach, cute town. Definitely the priciest of our options, so the hotel/room options aren’t the best, but we don’t care much for aesthetics, we just want a clean place. I really want to visit Big Sur, and so this is why it’s my top option personally. So so tough to find hotels/places to stay IN Big Sur, without paying an arm and a leg (and kidney, with some places lol) - Cannon Beach, Oregon: this is my second choice, and my boyfriend’s first. We both have never been to Oregon. Another place that offers best of both worlds with hiking/beach, it looks like. It’s also more in our price budget - and we could get a nicer hotel within the same price range as Carmel in CA’s options. - Near Los Angeles, we’ve been eyeing Newport Beach: I’ve personally been to Los Angeles before and loved it - but didn’t do anything beach/hiking related when I went years ago lol. My boyfriend is interested in seeing the city, but it’s not his first choice by any means. Planning//looking here has been a little more stressful with the amount of options available, it’s a little harder to narrow down. It’s lower on our list of options because we travel to cities often, and we want a more laid back “vibe” around us if that makes sense - Finally, Catalina Island in CA. Have not done much research here besides hearing good reviews from friends. Just an option we’ve thrown in the air. Any recommendations/thoughts would be SO HELPFUL!! thank you in advance! submitted by /u/foreverplt [link] [comments]
