The guide

Where exactly

This is a Vista Point that is located on the south bound side of hwy 101 about 5 miles south of the Rest areas. Seems to be lots of crusing going on here. I stop here to take a nap on my way home each day, and lots of tail lights, and people walking about all the time. Both the North and South bound rest areas seem to be busy too. Cross street: Mariposa Reine

Cruisiest spot: Towards the end that you get back on the fwy. It's very wide there. Seems to be lots of cars with tail lights flashing.

When to go

Early AM

Etiquette

Get out and walk around a little. Also can take the trail back up the beach north of the parking area towards the bridge spanning the creek below.

Hey guys, theres a much better place a few miles south of the vista point. It's an unmarked road that runs between the freeway and cliffs for about a mile. Secluded and lots of bushes ans lots of action. See you there.
