Fastest route from San Diego to San Francisco
The quickest route between San Diego and San Francisco is the 502 mile drive north along Interstate 5, which takes about 8 hours. This inland route is, however, less scenic as a driving north on US Hwy 101 or directly along the California coast on Hwy 1. Driving on US 101 lengthens the drive by an hour while driving Hwy 1 turns the trip into an about 600 mile, 12 hour drive. If you do drive Hwy 1 it is best to break up the drive over two days to make sure you do not have to drive the best parts in the dark. Informing yourself ahead of your departure about any road closures due to fires or other weather conditions is also recommended.
