This may be a bit too zoomed out to capture it all-- 238 NM of Spectacular Flying (about 4 hours at 60kts if no wind).

This section of California is located near San Luis Obispo (KSBP) about 4 hours North of Los Angeles, and 4 hours South of San Francisco

The route from SkyVector is HERE

Points of Interest are in Green.  Some things to watch out for are in Red.

Points of Interest:

1. Pismo Dunes (Guadalupe dunes to the South- no houses, nothing, a hang gliding mecca in the 70's)
2. Oceano Airport-- beautiful little airport on the beach.  Gas, food within walking, free-shared bikes.  Not nice to land when windy.  Skydiving
3. Lighthouse, Avila beach, Shell beach
4. Diablo Nuclear Plant is cool to see from the air.  Then as you go North, Montana de Oro state park with natural beach cliffs, then an uninhabited long spit of sand alongside Morro Bay.
5. Morro Rock!! very cool, remnants of volcanic magma cone on the beach.  Last of the dormant volcano "7 sisters" down Los Osos Valley.  Don't fly low directly over Morro Rock-- Peregrine Nesting area.
6. North of here begins the Spectacular Big Sur Coast.
7. Hearst Castle!!!  Beautiful priceless treasure.  Spectacular pools.  Coast here is Wilderness Area (2k over).  North of the castle, the Big Sur Coast is VERY rugged-- NO landing zones.  If you are going to fly it, best is North to South using predominating North wind as tail wind.
8. Paso Robles Airport (KPRB) is the closest fuel up here.  Big wide open class E airport, tolerates wind better than Oceano, usually not foggy even when coastal airports are.  Watch out for nearly hidden Restricted area embedded in the MOAs between Hearst and PRB
9. River area North of Santa Maria (SMX) is cool to fly, and just outside their Class D.  It will lead you toward:
10. M. Jack's Neverlnd Ranch, and the ritzy houses of Los Olivos, down toward :
11. Little Santa Ynez airport (watch for Sailplanes in R pattern-- your pattern is Left).  Gas.  Walk to lunch, or free shuttle to Casino / Lunch
12. If you are comfortable in Class C, SBA tower is very friendly, and the flight low along their beach is Gorgeous!!!  You can avoid their Class C to the East up that canyon, but it is rugged.  Hang Gliders in the mountains here.
13. California Valley / Soda Lake is to the East

Other notes:

1. Pismo Dunes are Wilderness Area (2 K over), but wilderness stops at waterline (whereas near Hearst, wilderness is waterline outward)
2. SBP Class D extends almost to the coast near Avila-- if you want to avoid it, stay West of 101 as you get near.
3. Los Osos Valley is pretty with it's Seven Sister Volcanoes-- but it is the major flyway for commercial planes into/out of SBP.  You should be talking to SBP if you are anywhere in this area.  They are comfortable with a route that brings you East down the Los Osos Valley into their Class D, then turning South toward Avila before you cross Hwy 101.  Trying to cross directly South from Los Osos Valley crosses some VERY rugged terrain.
