California 1 south
Southbound California 1/PCH at the Los Angeles-Orange County Line. The first city along southbound in Orange County is Seal Beach. Photo taken 03/30/03.
View of southbound California 1/PCH in the vicinity of Seal Beach. Photo taken 03/30/03.
Bolsa Chica State Beach and Bolsa Chica Wetlands are adjacent to each other between Seal Beach and Huntington Beach along California 1/PCH. This picture is along southbound as California 1 enters Huntington Beach, which is well-known as a surf town. Photo taken 03/30/03.
Southbound California 1/PCH approaching Junction Northbound California 39/Beach Boulevard in Huntington Beach. California 39 leads north from here via Beach Boulevard to Westminster (Junction Interstate 405), Garden Grove (Junction California 22), Buena Park (Junction California 91 and Interstate 5), and La Habra. There is a gap in California 39 between La Habra and West Covina; the state highway resumes its northward course along Azusa Boulevard and San Gabriel Canyon Road into the Angeles National Forest. Photo taken 03/30/03.
Southbound California 1/PCH at Junction Northbound California 39/Beach Boulevard in Huntington Beach. While California 1 heads in a southeasterly direction parallel to the coast, California 39 heads due north from this intersection. Photo taken 03/30/03.
Southbound California 1/PCH approaching Junction Southbound Balboa Boulevard and Northbound California 55 in Newport Beach. The sign seems to indicate that California 55 continues south via this exit, but in reality, the southern terminus of California 55 is at California 1. Southbound Balboa Boulevard is the best route from California 1 to reach Balboa Island, the beach, and the passenger ferry to Catalina Island. Photo taken 03/30/03.
Southbound California 1/PCH approaching Junction Northbound California 55 in Newport Beach. The overpass ahead carries California 55 over California 1, but neither highway is a freeway at this point. For the connection from southbound California 1 onto northbound California 55, a cloverleaf curl ramp is used. Photo taken 03/30/03.

END California 1.
