"Good for a remote street"
Skyline Boulevard, while not that physically far from San Francisco, feels worlds away. The road runs along the ridgeline of the Santa Cruz Mountains, allowing for stunning views of the bay and the ocean at times, and towering forest tunnels otherwise. Bikers are outnumbered perhaps only by motorcyclists, all of whom congregate at Alice's restaurant.
The area is very expensive, especially considering how far it is from civilization. The surrounding redwoods are beautiful and the drive is a pleasure (if motion sickness isn't an issue), but the lifestyle is not for everyone, particularly those who don't choose to live 20 minutes from the nearest grocery store.
