- Having been born and raised near the ocean...sometimes I miss it and feel the need to go back. Most of my travels take me through the mountains and the southwestern desert....but sometimes I miss the smell of that salty air and hearing the sounds of the waves crashing. Come along as I visit the coast of Central California including San Simeon, Big Sur and even Solvang.

Oh Catherine, how could I have missed this episode. I was also born and raised on the Pacific coast and for 35 years roamed, played, surfed all the places you visited. At age 74 the BEAUTIFUL, rugged Pacific and the stretch you travelled will always be in my heart and home to me. The sounds, smells, sunrises and sunsets. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Nope Catherine ... I'm personally Loving everywhere you go ! I love it all too ! Thank you sooo much for sharing your adventures with us all Love, My soul loves your soul ! Laughing ... just keep doing what you do , we'll follow ya !
Thank you so much!
oceans, sea's, mountains, desert's, mother nature's soul food
I enjoy rewatching your travels as much the second or third time as much as the first time. Thank you for sharing your life
I love the ocean and mountains, one of the magical positives of living on the west coast
Born and raised in coastal Alaska, I always had the best of both worlds. Now it's all about staying warm. Your voice is very soothing. Has that Bob Ross vibe. 😊
Nothing wrong with loving the mountains AND the ocean!
You can of course share videos of whatever you want! Your content is always fantastic. 💚
The Mountains are majestic, exhilarating, and beautiful. The Sea while also amazing it renews your soul in an elemental way that only it can do.
Your cinematography skills are only surpassed by the soothing tone of your narration….
Whether the mountains or the sea...
Wherever you go is where we want to be.
Great video Catherine. The wildlife was a nice touch. Especially seeing Zebras in California. We also loved seeing Sierra, the dog. Stay well and keep the surprises coming. 💖
Glad you enjoyed it
Nico 😍😘
We are so blessed in this country to have such diversity of landscape, villages, towns, and cities. Great video. Love your attitude to embrace the moment…wherever you are…gems will appear all along the way.
Anyone bred-born-raised by The SEA, will never be 'whole' or totally content away from it---no matter how much (the allure) of The Mountains, The Desert, etc...Absorb it, Gal, & recharge your soul---for the times you will be away.......
Not only campground fees, but fuel also. Yikes! Thanks for the ride!
I'm not a "mountain person" as much as a "natural beauty person". As long as you film beautiful or fascinating surroundings, you will always have my attention. :)
Born and raised near the ocean. Sailed for a bunch of years too. Now living inland and the connection to the ocean is real.
Nothing like the ocean! Thank you for another video adventure of Nature's Gifts to all! Be safe, be well!
Catherine, your videos are zen for the soul! Breaking up your normal mountain videos with some ocean content was perfect!! Thank you!!
Thanks again Catherine. I have been to all of the places on this video and always enjoy seeing them. The hike up the slot canyon is fun and easy to do. I did the hike on crutches back in 2003. I would suggest carrying bear spray when hiking in the park as there have been mountain lions spotted there. Another thing ia to keep your kids and pets close to you. Kids running around playing and screaming are big cat magnets
Very nice video. I have wanted a pet zebra since seeing Swiss family Robinson as a kid. Stay safe and healthy.
Thank you, don't get out to the ocean very often. Beautiful.
I love the mountains. I love the ocean. I especially love where they meet.
Ocean people here! I love where the mountains meet the sea. So unique and magical. Love this area as well!
I agree i prefer the mountains too and rivers and streams and lakes. Ocean living is messier when you have a dog 🤣
We love the Ocean and all its wonder. Trees along a sandy beach are majestic. Playful seals are fun to watch while on a day hike near the Ocean's shore. Trees, Water, Wildlife, good food and coffee; all in this video. Nice 😀💯👍🔥🌊🙏
Beautiful, Catherine. So happy seeing you renew your soul by being close to the ocean you love.🥰👍
And even though I live in the mountains, I find the ocean fascinating….the constant of the waves, the light on the water, especially at sunset, and all the shades of blue is truly gorgeous. Thank you for sharing places we may never get to. 🙏🌹
Oh, and puppies! One can never get enough of seeing puppies having a fun time . 🥰👍
I love the mountains as well but the ocean is a whole Nother world. And I love it all. We are so blessed to live on this amazing planet
When my grandfather died in 1950 in Oklahoma, my dad, at 13 years old, was finishing up wheat harvest in the Midwest . He came out on a train to live with his brother who was a ranch hand in the Santa Ynez valley area. He told me he thought he came to paradise. My uncle is buried in the Lompoc area.
Gorgeous ♥️ I drove my Semi Truck with a 53 foot trailer from Carmel CA to south of Big Sur I was turned around by a Chip's officers because there several bridges I would never make it over it was still gorgeous and the sea lions in the water too. God bless be safe ✝️♥️🇺🇸
I love the mountains however I am also a water baby so I love the ocean too. Nothing wrong with embracing both worlds.
Beautiful. You were blessed to have as many days as you had that were so clear.
I am a mountain girl, born and bred, to the point that open bare land makes me nervous. But every now and then I have to go to the ocean - I find it very restorative and calming.
Zebra are so beautiful. That was the most adorable fight over a mate! Totally harmless. Great video!
Love where the mountains meet the sea. Beautiful
You're right. Something about the ocean air that rejuvenates you. The mountains may have your heart but the ocean has your soul. Did not know about the wild zebras. Nice surprise.
Thanks, Catherine, for sharing your scenic video of CA coast.
Good morning Catherine! I am so happy to see you at the beach. Lake Cachuma is where I learned to fish as a kid and all of your other stops are regular stops for me! You are in my "back yard". From Big Sur, south to Santa Barbara, is an amazing stretch of our beautiful California Coast. I got married in Santa Barbara on the cliffs overlooking the ocean! Thank you for your wonderful video of zebras and all the marine life at the rookery. I was just there in late September. Always look forward to Sunday mornings with you and sometimes your friends! Thank you and as always, love you and be safe. 💖🙏
Catherine, is it appropriate to say you are a "connoisseur" of the great-outdoors? You bring us joy, and surprises, week after week. Zebra's? So cool. A refreshing video this week; makes me think of my cousin that lives in Cayucos and was able to see what the area looks like that he lives and surfs in. You are very inspiring since the start.
i can relate to your love of both the mountains and the sea - they both have their special appeals
Thank you, Catherine. I enjoy your videos each Sunday. Always so well done. 👍
Right here in my backyard, didn't know the falls was reopened,
My wife and I did that section several years ago.
It was a great flash back seeimg it again.
I forgot how much I miss the California coastline. Thank you for sharing. Aloha
As a fellow girl who also was born and raised in the OC in SoCal, the mountains definitely have hold of my heart, too. Yet when I have a chance to visit the California coast, the sound of the waves, the sun’s sparkle on the water, and the smell of the salty surf feel like home in a way that I can never deny. I just discovered your channel, Catherine. I am enjoying your videos.
The mountains bring wonder, but the ocean brings tears of joy for me. It tugs at me in a mystical way. I will _always_ appreciate videos you do by the sea.
Thank you Kimberly! ❤️
I appreciated your coastal CA adventure. I spent a few months in Solvang when I was a child in the 50's, so it was nice to see what it looks like now. I used to catch small frogs (and let them go!) in a long-gone small storm drainage area that ran near the edge of the downtown area. I visit CA about every 3 years and so enjoy the coast and the sea views. You caught a nice sunset view. Your presentation made me long to be at the coast. Maybe this fall I'll be able to go. Also, it was nice to hear about the places to camp in the area. Keep up the great work Catherine.
Thanks again for making my morning coffee great 😊
Having grown up on the east coast and now living land locked in Missouri, I miss the smell of the salt water and fresh seafood
I hope more people to subscribe to your channel. You bring peace to life
Lovely, the ocean refreshes us all.
As a scuba diver many moons ago I loved the ocean so my little girl followed in my footsteps in diveing and became a marine bioloigist I still have a love for the mountains..both heal the soul
Variety is the spice of life, it was all beautiful. Thanks 😊
after a 14 hr night shift, just showered. and watching another stunning video. thankyou catherine xx
Awesome video as always the trip was fun and relaxing much needed on my end thank you for the adventures. Can’t wait until the next one.
Thavk you! It was wonderful having you and Sierra along!
That's a really cool camping setup you have Lori!
Another great video. My wife and I watch your videos every week and really enjoy them. Thank you so much. You are very talented and have a good eye for all the natural beauty that surrounds us.
Natural beauty has always been in many places. The ocean is just one more
Great video
I'm very fortunate to be able to live, work, and volunteer near our Vandenberg Space Base, and traverse the CA central coast bunches. Yes, the mountains touch the sea, the ribs in Cambria, fresh fish in Ventura, the panoramic coastal views, old and new bridges, flora and many kinds of birds, waves crashing white contrast to the dark rocks and beaches, and rolling oak-spotted hills.... really float my boat :> . Glad you were able to share my backyard with your subscribers. Thank you for your presentation. Stay Well and Enjoy. Hugs and Smiles
There nothing better than Tabasco Sauce with eggs.
We lived in Virginia for 7yrs. It was perfect due to mountains and ocean.
I liked seeing the Tabasco bottle there. The perfect compliment to eggs.
I love both the ocean and the Mrs.
Great video Catherine thanks for sharing b safe out there.
Omg, I love those caramel covered apples dipped in choc chips in Solvang!
Viewing creation, through the lens of your artistic touch, is never disappointing! 🙂❤️
Loved this different piece of america you brought us today!! Beautiful!! Thanks so much!!
Different is always welcome Catherine! I liked it.
again, thank you for sharing natures beauty threw your eyes! follow your heart, it knows the way!
I relate. I grew up in whittier CA. I miss the ocean at times. I will always love the sea.
I love the ocean too but I still need my mountains.
Could smell that ocean air.....❤. Leavenworth, Wa. German style little town.
From one SoCal lady to another, I completely get what you mean about the California coast. I’m also in a truck camper and spend most of my time in the mountains and deserts, but the beach will always feel like home. That salty air brings me right back to my childhood.
The rolling hills of the central coast of CA are something special, I could drive through them for hours and hours and never be bored! A fun hike in that area is called Cerro Alto between Atascadero and Morro Bay. The views from the top are awesome!
Salty Air is yummy 😋
Thank you for Sunday relax coffee in hand ❤️👍
Reach the Beach! Excellent Video!! Thank You for sharing,🙏👍😎
Lorianne’s setup is awesome! Great video, too, Catherine.
I am definitely more of an ocean person but have traveled mountain areas many times. I can understand why a piece of your heart is there at the beach.
NICE. HARD TO BEAT THE BEACH ON SUNNY DAYS. I REMEMBER SOLVANG PASTRIES AND FUDGE MADE IT POINT TO DRIVE INLAND TO GET THERE. FOREVER WOULD BE AWESOME TO EXPLORE THIS PLANET HOME WE'VE BEEN GIVEN. THANKS FOR THE TAG-A-LONG.
Loving the reconnecting with my memories from my honeymoon in California which included many of the area's visited. Solvang was always a stop of my Danish father.
It doesn't matter where you travel to I am happy that you share your life with us. I prefer mountains to the beach but sometimes one just needs to be near the ocean...to see, feel, know, smell, hear and taste its awesomeness. Rebirth. I am glad you decided to share the footage with the heavy fog and how life goes on even when it isn't sunny clear. There is a beauty still in the gloom.
I love seeing the coast, so please feel free to share it all the time, most YT'rs are showing us the mountains so the coast is breath of fresh air. Awesome to see the birds and the zebra.
My favorite drive in all the world !! We used to tent camp Big Sur's Andrew Molera until the fires, heavy rain and mudslides closed it down.
I live near the mountains in Oregon, but not far from the ocean. There is something about the ocean that renews the soul.
The Oregon Coast is beautiful!!
As always you did another video with blends of content and music selection is top notch. Thanks for being you and what you do Sunday mornings.🌺🌸🌞👍👍
My wife and I live in Cambria and watch your channel regularly. She grew up in Palos Verdes and in the summers would drive up to the eastern Sierras for camping. It's a tradition we now continue. Was fun seeing you highlight our beautiful coastline.
You live in a beautiful area! ❤️
This summer I mooched camped for free on the California coast for 6 months in my motorhome, a stones throw from the sand. I plan on spending the winter here also, surfing everyday. I’m an old fart (65) and never felt healthier.
"All the world is wild." John Muir
Lovely seeing the coast. Been living inland for going on 8 years.
Your videos are special Catherine.
Ocean roar, c: ❤, recharge, 2 Moro is another day, stay safe
If there’s any such thing as a UA-cam award for best narration and videography…I’m gonna put your name in there.
As always, superb 💥
Thank you so much!
You are right the ocean is like a magnet. I don't know if it's the smell, sound of waves, or the blue water but it is an attraction to the human spirit. Maybe that's why I'm only 6 miles from it. Your video was excellent as always. Stay well and be safe.
Just beautiful as always-thank you!
Welcome to my neck of the woods Catherine! So happy to see your footage of the central coast of California. Don’t tie yourself to a set format for your videos, it’s enjoyable to see different formats. Follow your instincts we simply enjoy seeing the world thru your lens.
I'm like you, we love the the outdoors but us socal beach folks have salt water running thru our veins
Big Sur and the Sierra Nevada Mountains are my 2 most favorite places here in California. I never get tired of visiting them. We were in the same areas you were a year ago (November 2020) and the weather was also amazing then. Took way too many pictures of sea otters, zebras, and elephant seals, but you just can't help yourself. Thank you for sharing your beautiful adventures with all of us.
Oh I love the ocean when I lived in seal Beach I was down on the beach every day and the content was awesome on the video 🍷🍷ok 👌🏼🔥🤠🔥 Camping Russ out
I love the whole video I love the ocean so it’s great to see a change. I love the ocean and the mountains as well.
Verity is the spice of life. So so what if it is a little bet different, we still loved it. I used to drive up and down all that area back in the day. Thank you.
You take us to so many interesting places. I'm sending this video to my daughter who lives in Santa Maria. 😃👍
Lovely. I love ocean as well as mountains. Well done as always.
