I've been looking for a trail like this in the Santa Monica mountains with scenic ocean views but found it in Santa Barbara. It's called West Camino Cielo.
The route offers unbelievable views of the ocean on one side and Cachuma lake and mountain range on the other side.
If you are adventurous there are some 20-30% climbs on some off-shoots and various other challenges. The route itself was fairly easy with some parts requiring you to pay attention. Traffic flows both ways and I had to make accommodations, no biggie.
I met a gentleman who had a brand new Rubicon Gladiator AEV on 37s, who I followed up a few steep hills. It was def worth pushing some of my personal limits.
The last 1/4 of the route is on a narrow paved road.
I'll be going back at some point to catch sunset. Highly recommend.
