Why This Route Works
Most South Coast itineraries feel rushed or unrealistic.
This one is built from real travel experience.
The driving is front loaded early in the day, so the return journey becomes a relaxed sequence of stops, food breaks and viewpoints.
Fuel stops, toilets, rest breaks and timing are already considered, so you’re not searching while travelling.
It’s structured… but flexible.
Follow it exactly, or adapt to your pace.
