Everything the map can do
Cars & Coast is more than a list of pins. Here is every feature — what it is and exactly how to use it — from planning a Car Week day to flying the Corkscrew in 3D and taking the wheel of the Carmel beach cam.

Live camera
A real camera on Carmel beach that you can actually steer.
Watch the beach live, then take the wheel: one driver at a time gets a 90-second turn on the pan-tilt-zoom controls, with 10 preset views to jump between. Wait your turn, then steer.
