Driving Distances
Between California Cities
Driving Distance Chart & Map

California is a huge state -- larger than many countries.  So, if you're going to be driving in California, you'll want to know the driving distance between California cities. When you know the driving distances between cities, you can estimate the time required and plan your itinerary and your stops accordingly. 

For instance, to drive the length of California, along Interstate 5 (from the Oregon border to the Mexican border), you'd travel approximately 800 miles (2,387 kilometers), and it would take at least 15 hours with little traffic (highly unusual).  The State of California has 58 counties; 478 cities; and approximately 118 cities with beaches on its 1,000+ miles of coastline that runs along the Pacific Ocean.
