One Day Los Angeles Driving Tour

If you take Sunset, after you pass Will Rogers State Historic Park veer left on Chautauqua as Sunset veers right. (If you miss Chautauqua, Sunset goes all the way to the beach, but it will add several additional curvy miles to the route.) Chautauqua will take you down to the ocean, where you will turn left on Pacific coast Highway (known locally as PCH).

PCH is a limited access highway as it comes into Santa Monica. Take a slight left onto California Incline, which is basically an off-ramp from PCH to Ocean Blvd., where you will turn right for a few blocks before turning left on Broadway and right into the parking structure at Santa Monica Place Mall. (If you miss this left hand exit, PCH will carry you a ways past where you want to be before you can turn around and come back.)
