Replying to Trip Ideas - Looking for a Badass place to go

What's going on NS,

So my girlfriend and I are trying to plan a spring break trip (our plans to go to Daytona fell through) and I need some help brainstorming ideas on where to go because I'm assuming some of you have been to some pretty sick places.

We're up for anything from chilling on a beach somewhere to hiking, but we're trying to shy away from the "stereo-typical" spring break. We're from around the Philly area in PA and were thinking of potentially going to Cali and driving down the coast and seeing what it has to offer but honestly have no idea.

Just looking for a badass place to go!
