Here is the route with this modification for your consideration. I routed it down to Ocean via Marguerite just because it is pretty scenic along there. Bayside is much less traveled than PCH, there is a bike lane as far as Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club and sharrows once the bike lane ends.

You can get to Ocean sooner by going up Fernleaf, but that's a short gnarly hill that is an acquired taste. It could be optional.
My team at The Unlikely Cyclist does the detour on Bayside to marguerite and then toward Ocean and along there to lookout and up to PCH on Poppy
I will not do Fernleaf as it is just too steep and I'm barely able to stay upright
