There are *tons* of things to see. You can drive LA > SF in one (long) day up the coast but there won’t be much time to stop along the way. It’s best done over a long weekend. If you take the Pacific Coast Highway up the Coast, some things to see include:

Malibu
Santa Barbara
Solvang (interesting little town with Danish architecture)
San Luis Obispo
Morro Bay (and Rock)
Hearst Castle/San Simeon (and the elephant seals on the beach)
PCH drive through Big Sur on the Coast (** part of the PCH is closed for repairs after landslides last year. Check ahead. Drive it even if you have to detour some, it’s one of the best drives in North America **)
Monterey/Carmel

If I am doing a one-way over a weekend, I typically grab a hotel in Santa Maria or San Luis Obispo roughly half way along.

If you’re into wine, obviously the most prominent areas are in Napa, Sonoma and Santa Rosa north of SF but San Luis Obispo has some wineries especially to the north of town.

A bit of research will turn up lots more and you could head to Yosemite or some of the other parks in the Sierra Nevada, Joshua Tree, Palm Springs etc.
