When writing out your bucket list, you may find yourself penning, “Must See Califonira’s,” and pausing to ponder… what ARE the top hot spots to see in California? There are a lot of beautiful and unique places to visit that sets the Golden State apart from the rest of the country. To assist you with your Bucket List agenda, here are the top 5 California maps and guidelines to the ultimate destinations.
Map of the Top Beaches
California is known for its year-round sunny and pleasant weather, perfect for visiting the beach throughout the year and it definitely has some of the country’s most beautiful beaches. They are perfect for catching some waves, building sandcastles, or just relaxing under the sun with a nice book. For those that are curious about which beach has the best body traffic, or want a change of scenery and would like to visit some place new, they may want to refer to a map of the top beaches that California has to offer. The site http://www.californiabeaches.com/map/top-10-best-beaches-in-california-2016/ features a map and list of some of the top beaches all along California’s coast, including La Jolla Shores, Santa Monica State Beach, Carmel City Beach, Pebble Beach, and more.
Map of Tourist Hot Spots
As mentioned previously, tourists love to visit California. The main hotspots are usually Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco, but California has so much more to offer. With so much to see, visitors may want additional help figuring out places they should visit and things they should do during their stay. The website https://travel.sygic.com/en/list/what-to-see-in-california-region:79 shows a map and provides a detailed list of the must-sees in California, including Disneyland, Yosemite National Park, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, San Diego Zoo, and more on this California map.
Road Trip Map
Have you ever just wanted to get away, whether it is just for the weekend or a whole week? If you have ever wanted to just grab your keys and go, you may be in need of a road trip. You can prepare your own route and itinerary, but if you are feeling a bit lazy, want to avoid traffic or aren’t quite sure where you want to make stops, you can use a pre-made road trip map. The website http://www.visitcalifornia.com/region/road-trips displays many road trip maps with trips ranging between 3 to 10 days, allowing you to choose the best option for you, depending on what you would like to see and how much time you have available. Trips include the Wild North Coast, Volcanoes to the Sea, California Gold, Sierra Adventure, Highway One Classic, California’s Heartland, and more.
Map of the Stars
Tourism is one of California’s most lucrative industries, especially in Los Angeles. Tourists are everywhere and they all want to see the place where their favorite movies were made; they want the Hollywood experience; they want the stars. You cannot walk down Hollywood Blvd. without running into a boatload of tourists kneeling down to take a picture with the Walk of Fame star of their favorite actor, trying to fit their feet into the footprint of their favorite star at the forecourt of the Chinese Theatre, or taking pictures with the makeshift costumed characters of the Blvd. For many, this isn’t enough, though. They want more. They want to see where the Stars live. There are many Stars’ Homes tours that leave from Hollywood Blvd, but for those that do not want to spare the change (it can be quite expensive, especially for a whole family), a Map of the Stars is the answer to all of their dreams! Maps are sold all over Hollywood at stands and gift shops. Here is a link for a Star Map website: https://starmap.com/
General Road Map
All of the previous maps offer suggestions and help you get to specific destinations, but sometimes you just don’t know where you are going and need your standard California road map. I know everybody has GPS now a days, but you still should have a general understanding of where you are on a map and how to read a map, just in case computers turn on us one day 😉 Enjoy the best of the basics:
