If you want to trade some coast driving for an awesome mountain
route, cut the corner off the 101 from Santa Barbara and take
the 154 (San Marcos Pass). It's steep and winding driving for a
small part of it, but still 55 mph in a car (or my stock height 99
Dak 2WD). It's possible to get stuck behind a slow vehicle, if
that bothers you.
If you see a marking for a Vista Point, they mean it. Stop and
look. There's a great one on the right while going north.
It's one of my favorite drives.
Here's a bridge you'd cross:

This place is under it, but honestly i don't remember much about it:
