Sounds like you want cool more than anything else, so I'd just motor south to the Bay Area, drive through SF and hook up with Highway 1 and take it down through Half Moon Bay all the way to Santa Cruz; on the way, turn off at Pescadero and eat at Duarte's road house. Stop at the many wild beaches between Pescadero and Santa Cruz -- not marked, but just look for the cars by the side of the road -- we're talking mile-long beaches with great cliffs, deserted except for a few surfers and the odd nude sunbather. End up in the Cruz, get a room, hit the Boardwalk, get drunk on Pacific Avenue or on the Esplanade in Capitola, hit the beach, chill out, and go home.
