About
A National Scenic Byway is a road recognized by the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) for one or more of six "intrinsic qualities": archeological, cultural, historic, natural, recreational, and scenic. The program was established by Congress in 1991 to preserve and protect the nation's scenic but often less-traveled roads and promote tourism and economic development. The National Scenic Byways Program (NSBP) is administered by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).

When you are staring at the wave, at where sky meets sea, and when you are hearing the wind, the sound of waves, it is dream meeting reality.
So beautiful. I could move to this amazing place. You really gotta visit. The seashore is beautiful and the beach is quiet and serene. We saw alot of wildlife and of course the views are amazing. The people in California are always so nice. I've enjoyed every visit.
Absolutely incredible views. Don’t be in a hurry and stop everywhere along the way! Absolutely incredible. Photos alone just can’t depict the natural magnificence.
