It's one road...hit the #1 and drive straight north. In Oregon it turns into the 101 and just keep heading north til you're sick of it.

That view looks awsome, would be nice to drive through there with a high strung exotic. My dad rented a exotic(ferrari) in florida when my family vacation there. I was to young then but he always talk about it now that I'm into cars. He had a blast but now he's too old to risk his life for a day of joy ride. I think I still have the pics of the rented ferrari somewhere in the house.

Highway 1 (Pacific Coast Highway) is quite famous here in SoCal. It's a common area of auto accidents for obvious reasons (which I'll state in case they're not-so-obvious):
Drivers drive to see the sights and get too distracted... then crash.

Google Map it. You can't miss it.

FYI. Plenty of cops till you pass Zuma beach. Use a radar detector if you can. Great drive. If gone from Santa monica to Santa barbara.

Drove Hwy 1 last summer from San Fran to San Diego... It was great!!! Wish I had the S when we did it, but it would have been crowded with 3 people.
