THE BEST WAY

Driving is the only way -- and is the whole point. It's a much more interesting coast when you stay off the big roads. Use Highway 1 and U.S. 101 whenever possible.

WHERE TO STAY

The Beachcomber Motel, 1111 N. Main St., Fort Bragg; (800) 400-7873, www.thebeachcombermotel.com. Decent prices and a first-rate location -- the ocean right outside your door. Rooms from $109.

TOP STOPS

Magnolia Gastropub & Brewery, 1398 Haight St., San Francisco; (415) 864-7468, www.magnoliapub.com

San Francisco Brewing Co., 155 Columbus Ave., San Francisco; (415) 434-3344, www.sfbrewing.com

Seabright Brewery Inc., 519 Seabright Ave., Santa Cruz; (831) 426-2739, www.seabrightbrewery.com

Anacapa Brewing Co., 472 E. Main St., Ventura; (805) 643-2337, www.anacapabrewing.com

Where am I?

Should we take offense, order a drink, or what? That depends, of course, on where you think these words turned up.
