CA 1 South, Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu East to Santa Monica

[@cesar_onada]

Internet is great: some nice dude records a video from Malibu coastline and I can relax from Europe while watching it at 2 am after a hard day. Thank you Brent.

[@FreewayBrent]

Nice! Did you get a chance to watch the other Pacific Coast Highway video I have on KZbin? It features footage, located just west of the scenes you saw in this video, and showcases a somewhat more rugged landscape and intimate, unobstructed views of the ocean. Thanks for dropping by and commenting. Cheers!

[@heartmomma6460]

FreewayBrent Going to watch that one.

This video and song is what started putting in the motion my move to the LA area after always wanting to live there. It inspired me to get to work and make it happen. So glad to be here.

[@FreewayBrent]

I'm just catching up on some of the more recent comments left on this video. Wow...I'm pretty humbled to read this! That's awesome...how long have you been living in LA for now? I'm actually working on a brand new video of the PCH, showcasing the western half of the Malibu coastline. Should be on KZbin within about a week or so.

[@Guerilla281]

Been here since January. Was lucky enough to have a friend out here so was able to apply for jobs using her address and have no settled into my own place. H l

[@FreewayBrent]

Nice! Glad you've been making it work out here. I just released another video of the PCH yesterday..the drive into Malibu. Pacific Coast Highway, Driving Into Malibu along Southbound California State Route 1

Born in Queens NYC, raised in Jersey, live right outside of New York City in New Jersey. I will be visiting L.A. California for the 1st time. I can't wait it looks like a different universe to me. Great Video and Nice Song, Thanks!

[@davidevans6052]

Incredible ... Drove this stretch last year and it's pure heaven . 🇬🇧

[@FreewayBrent]

Heaven, indeed! Did you get a chance to also check out my other PCH video, showcasing the ride before where this video started? From Point Mugu State Park, out to the Malibu city limits. I personally like that video better, as there are virtually no parked cars or homes, making it much easier to see the ocean.

[@davidevans6052]

FreewayBrent yes watched also... Me & a friend are driving the whole of PCH next year because we fell in love with the scenery .

[@FreewayBrent]

Have a wonderful time when you do make it out here!

[@BigFatherLong]

Love this drive. One of the most relaxing/beautiful drives ever. As a resident I tend to head there just to relax and watch the waves and coast

[@Freewayjim]

Great ride, places I've only seen in photos and 1950's & 60's postcards, also loved seeing the Western terminus of I-10, 5*****

[@Stallion1974]

Really love all of your video's. The "boring" Netherlands is nothing compared to all these beautifull roads and places you got. Wish to go there someday!

[@Midnight65883]

California is the most diverse, beautiful state in the US by far.

[@FreewayBrent]

That's a debatable subject, but I will most certainly agree with you!

[@bannaboy89]

That's true. If you want to go to the beach just go west. If you want to go to the forest just go north. If you want to go to the snow visit mount baldy. If you want to go to the city visit la or San Fran! Want to go to the desert go to Lancaster. We have almost everything

[@gwangvatar]

how about Florida??

[@AllahHuSnackbar]

Yeah Pacific is never really "warm," but Atlantic feels great around the whole gulf in the summer

[@AllahHuSnackbar]

Being politically 'progressive' isn't always progress, just reminding you to consider that. The state really is undeniably great, I'm envious sometimes. From the beginning it was overpowered though haha. With the largest and most beautiful coastline of any of the lower 48, oil beneath a beautiful desert, and a farm belt the size of Illinois, I'd be disappointed if the state turned out to be anything less.

[@cjs121675]

Awesome- bought back memories of the summer of 1990 when I was in Santa Monica visiting the beaches whilst in California with my aunt! Great ride, brings back awesome memories.

[@nest790]

Beautiful, just beautiful.

[@FreewayBrent]

I agree...one of my favorite drives...glad you enjoyed!

[@avioncamper]

I can not get this song out of my head.. Never heard of them till your video. Your videos are great.... Keep up the great job!!

[@ankverburg]

I love this! I was there a few months ago and drove this section numerous times. Now, back on the other side of the globe, this is a great way to relive the memories. Thanks a lot.

[@Chatsworth1979]

BEST vid you've done so far, and it's the BEST stretch of highway on the planet. How I miss it!

Thanks for watching! Glad the video brought back some good memories. Well, 3 years after I released this video, I'm actually getting ready to start editing the footage that features western and central portions of the Pacific Coast Highway through Malibu. Video should be up in about 1 to 2 weeks from now.

[@Catinka666]

FreewayBrent, you got it going on! Nice video editing, great tune, loved those little blurbs and the street signs. Sometimes it's hard sitting through these vids- but you totally nailed it. Keep doing what you're doing!

[@TheMatthewRoss]

Freakin AWESOME!! I drove this same route going from El Matador state beach to Santa Monica place .. I also ate at Dukes Malibu .. the food I had was Mediocre but THE OCEAN VIEW made up for everything . I visit LA at least 2x a year from Oklahoma .. someday I’ll be there permanently or on the outskirts where it’s cheaper .

[@FreewayBrent]

Hey man, glad you enjoyed watching! Duke's is decent; it's really more about the views there. Have you tried breakfast or lunch/dinner items at Malibu Farm Pier Cafe, located on the Malibu Pier several miles north/west of Duke's? There's the main restaurant, located at the foot of the pier, and then the breakfast cafe at the very end of the pier (which also serves lunch items). A little bit pricey, but the food there is legitimately good, and the views are almost unbeatable. Not sure if you've been to the nearby Malibu VIllage shopping center (just a couple of quick traffic lights away from the pier), but that's more or less the de facto downtown area of Malibu. Some national chains, mixed in with locally owned shops and cafes there. Across the street is the lagoon, which is great for a walk or jog. Oh, and I have another video of the Pacific Coast Highway, which shows the western half of this highway through Malibu and Point Mugu State Park. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6TPanWFrLiJZpI

[@TheMatthewRoss]

FreewayBrent I haven’t explored Malibu as much as I’d like .. the only times I’ve been was for a photoshoot back in 2015, pride weekend 2019 & this past Halloween weekend . I usually stay in El segundo or Manhattan beach when I visit LA . I DO love Malibu & it’s country but chic vibe .. I drove through some Mountains that have tunnels headed to Topanga Canyon & it was like a movie . & yes Dukes was just not the best ..thanks for the recommendations . My fav thing to eat is seafood & the best spot I know ( so far ) is the Albright Santa Monica . & btw I totally dig this song ! It’s a California vibe .

[@Westcoast802]

Great video man, I like that you always find the perfect music for your videos. I think it's not easy always to fit the clip with the traffic sings which are there and stuff like that, so nice to see you do your best (great work) Have a nice weekend ;)

Never heard the song before but really like it. I also love your videos. You drive at a steady pace, and the videos are not fast moving. Makes it easier to enjoy the views. I don't travel so this is fun for me. Love seeing California as I would like to live there some day. Thanks for the great videos.

[@phuckewe178]

Malibu is one of the nicest places I've ever been to. This drive is awesome, but don't forget to drive up those canyon roads near Calabassas.

[@FreewayBrent]

+Phuck Ewe : No doubt! I think my favorite drive over the Santa Monica Mountains is Kanan Dune Road, with the multiple tunnels and 8% grade at the southern end of the road.

how fantastic was this!! this is the route we took coming into Los Angeles for my first visit.

I loved the musical selection - it really suited the slower pace of the PCH compared to your usual freeway vids!

[@UnitedJetSetter]

Oh wow! The first time I heard this song on the radio was in LA back in August! We drove up the PCH past Malibu and then turned around to stop at Topanga Beach. We actually missed the exit right there at Ocean ave to go to the pier! We had to drive back around LOL

The entire state could be considered a geological wonderland. You should see what the Sierra Nevada looks like; amazing scenery.

No I will go check it out right now! And I'll subscribe :) We are looking to move to CA next year. I've lived up and down the east coast around NJ/NY/CT so I'm used to traffic. But all I hear about is what a nightmare traffic is not only in LA but they make it sound like all of southern California is bumper to bumper all the time. Now this video looks like it is a pleasant ride. What time of day was this? We are visiting next week and we will be driving from the Malibu area into Santa Monica. I hope the ride is this nice :)

[@adroroz]

Very nice video, Im live in LA fro 1998 to 2008 and Im drive on the PCH many times, just for travel from West Covina to Santa Barbara I think once a month because I like that route, is very relaxing for me, if you have some video of PCH from Huntington Beach to San Clemente, is very nice too.

[@FreewayBrent]

I've only been to Oahu when I was 15, and didn't get to enjoy the experience as much as I would've liked, as I was helping my dad's company shut down their Hawaii operations in Honolulu. Glad you enjoyed watching!

[@FreewayBrent]

@GeoffJennyOliver: Glad you enjoyed! This is going to be a bit confusing for you, but Malibu actually lies *west* of Downtown LA (perhaps a bit southwest). California State Route 1 thru Santa Monica, Malibu, and out toward Ventura (and Santa Barbara) is signed as a north-south route, but physically runs in an east-west direction. Caltrans generally doesn't like to switch directional tabs for a single route, even if a particular stretch is signed, contradictory to its physical direction.

[@gordonemoore]

Good one! I've done this drive thousands of times. I could do it damn near that fast on my Triumph late at night forty years ago. Too many new traffic lights now.

Hey, thanks! That's sort of the idea behind these videos; to really give the viewer the perspective that they're actually "there". I've been surprised at the interest this video has generated; thought it'd get a few thousand views, at most. As for the song choice, the rationale behind choosing it is that they're a local band, and the tune of the song sort of has that "beach vibe." At least in my quirky mind, lol. Anyway, thanks for dropping by and watching.

Hey man have you done one for rt 101 north, San francisco to mill valley/muir woods area? I made that drive twice and i still think about it all the time. One of my favs

It's definitely in the works. :-) Right now, I've been focusing on my Toronto-series of videos...definitely much more polished than this video. I'll most likely be doing a video of I-5 over the Grapevine, before I get to my US 101 Marin County footage.

Once you enter McClure Tunnel south bound it becomes the Ten Freeway or Santa Monica Freeway going east to Los Angeles

Wonderful job on this! Some of those homes to the right at 1:54 may be worth millions, but they sure do look pretty dumpy for that area haha. Sebass tried to smoke a joint at the SM Beach one night when we went there but ended up wasting it all because he couldn't light it due to the wind lol. Nice touch in the end credits with the Facebook logo and copyright mark. I may have to borrow that for future videos of mine... Look forward to seeing what else you filmed on your excursion there!
