Coastal

Coastal
Type	Segmented Road
Length	15.2 miles (24.5 km)

“	Ah, the smell of the ocean. This route starts a meandering run along the coast, winds its way up and along some crags, inland through some tight forested road, and then back down along a narrow peninsula. It’s a well-rounded drive with a couple of nice straightaways and a healthy portion of squirrelly corners. Go ahead, use that lead foot, but keep a tight grip on the wheel.	”
