   Cadìz

   The first time you happen to see the Atlantic Ocean, you realize an ocean is something different from the usual sea like the ones you've seen before.
   
   Cadìz is a special place, a little gem you will love.
   
   But the sight of the Ocean... that left me speechless.

4. 

   McWay Falls

   No matter how many waterfalls you've seen before this one is a gem. Flowing year-round onto deserted pristine California sands, it's one of the most picturesque spots around Big Sur.
   
   Come for the view of the falls at Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, then try the hiking trails among the giant redwood trees across the road.

   Oceanside, Oregon Coast

   There are far fewer people at the beaches in Oregon than in California, but Highway 101 running right along much of the coast here channels tourist from all over the state to sea-side resorts. Towns on that route have all the cheap t-shirts you could want, but my favorite places in Oregon are off of a road less traveled.

    Ocean Beach makes up the entire west side of the San Francisco peninsula, where the Pacific meets the dunes. The Great Highway (Highway 35) runs the length of it, from Geary Blvd by the Cliff House to the North, to Sloat Blvd by the zoo to the South.
