Pismo beach or Solvang?
Which would be best to stop at after Monterey? We are going to LA from there and want to do the WB studio tour late that afternoon but we are happy to be up and out early. Solvang is cheaper and obviously closer to LA to make that day easier but I don’t want to make the day before unbearable if the drive from Monterey to Solvang is too much?

We stayed at a condo resort - Dolphin Bay in Pismo Beach - on our way from Carmel to Santa Monica a few years ago. Was fabulous as gave us lots of space (and a washing machine) which was needed. Was a long drive from Carmel and we were glad to stop there for a couple of nights... I've heard great things re Solvang too...

Depends what you want to do en-route Monterey-Pismo/Solvang and Pismo/Solvang-LA. The extra distance between Pismo and Solvang is about an hour of inland driving, so not a major deal either way.
If you’re planning to make a few stops on the way down from Monterey, maybe Pismo. If not, or if you plan a few stops the next day, you could go on to Solvang. Pismo is a typical Cali beach town, Solvang is a cute historical town (with a slight theme park appearance to my eyes), so it really depends what kind of vibe you prefer. |

That’s the hotel we have booked and it does look lovely! Can you remember what time you arrived in LA the next day?
