[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for all the suggestions. I think at least 5 days on one beach is probably nonnegotiable from DH’s POV. He’s British and is more than happy to beach himself like a whale on the beach to bake his lily white flesh. He’s also exhausted from work so needs to recharge.

What is special about the Hollywood Hills? I’m not particularly interested in Hollywood or celebrities but I do like hiking - is this some of the best there is along our route?

You do know that California beaches aren't like east coast beaches, right? People don't rent beach houses and stay for a week, they go for a few hours, dip their feet in, or put on wetsuits and surf for a couple hours.  Maybe for a brit it won't feel cold, but the water is chilly year round. (California native)

12 days is enough to do the coast, but if you're going to spend 5 or 6 days in San Diego area, want to hit LA and SF, it's going to be tighter. I really would do 3ish days San Diego, 2 nights in LA if you want to do a WB studio tour or go to universal, and then drive up the coast. Stop in Santa Barbara for lunch, do a tour of Hearst Castle in San Simeon, do a beach day in Santa Cruz if that's a priority and then head into the forests and finish up in san fransisco.  3 days in SF will get you all the highlights, so spread the rest around.[/quote]
