San Diego is home to some of the best scenic drives in California, and exploring them in a comfortable, spacious van is the perfect way to get your friends and family to join in on the fun. At All-Star Rent a Van, we believe that a passenger van rental is the best way to experience these drives without sacrificing comfort or convenience.
Pacific Coast Highway
This one has “California road trip” all over.
This route will take you through many coastal towns, including Del Mar and Encinitas, and will put you right next to some of California’s best beaches, making it perfect for beach lovers.
Come pick up one of our rental vans, and you’ll have plenty of space for surfboards, beach chairs, and picnic gear. We recommend stopping at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas for a family-friendly spot with BBQ facilities and volleyball courts.
Sunset Cliffs Scenic Drive
If you’re looking for something more romantic, try this one instead. This drive hugs the coastline and offers dramatic views and even better sunsets. It is perfect for a late-afternoon adventure, long talks, and romantic outings.
Make sure to check out Sunset Cliffs Natural Park for an ideal sunset viewing point.
Julian Mountain Drive
If you’re a fan of nature and history, the Julian Mountain Drive is a must.
This route takes you through the mountains and into the historic town of Julian, famous for its apple orchards. Along the way, you’ll pass through Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, where you can stop for a hike and some adventure.
Be sure to visit Julian Pie Company for a slice of their famous pie.
Coronado Bridge to Silver Strand
This drive offers a fantastic mix of urban and beach landscapes. It begins with the iconic Coronado Bridge, which provides great views of downtown San Diego and the bay. Once over the bridge, you’ll find yourself in the charming town of Coronado, where you can explore the historic Hotel del Coronado or relax on the wide, sandy beaches.
Continue along the Silver Strand, where you can stop to swim, fish, or enjoy a day at the beach.
