The
Highway 101 California
Beaches Road trip takes a turn in the road
north of Ventura. The hills become steep and
unstable in some spots. This bend is not far, in
fact, from two landslides
that occurred in La Conchita. Highway 101
becomes 4 lanes for a short time in this area
but loses 2 passing lanes just north of this
photo. The ocean is to the right of this photo
and is visible from the road. This region
features only a few communities or hamlets due
to the topography and unstable hillside
conditions.
Located north
of Ventura, you are in the stretch of road not
far from Carpinteria
near Summerland and
Santa Barbara.
There's one
hotel,
Cliff House Inn, along the ocean in this
region that offers stunning ocean views.
