Driving the California Coast: A Self-Guided Audio Tour

Overview
Experience a spectacular driving tour that follows Highway 1 to Big Sur, often called “the greatest meeting of land and water in the world.”

You’ll be greeted by views of the Santa Lucia Mountains rising abruptly from the Pacific Ocean, in contrast with the jagged rock cliffs and churning seas. This section of Highway 1 is considered one of the most scenic driving routes in the United States, if not the world. It’s filled with unblemished natural scenery and dotted with four state parks, hidden beaches, rocky coves and rolling hills.

On the tour, you’ll pass by the historic D.L. James House now owned by actor Brad Pitt, cross the iconic Bixby Bridge, pass by the prominent volcanic rock home of the Point Sur Light Station to the Big Sur River Inn and the famous Nepenthe Restaurant before we stop at the Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park.

All stops, visits to state parks and subsequent hikes are optional and parking fees for state parks are not included in the price of this tour.

In for a few days wanted to experience the coast of CA - this was a great way to do it. Took us off the beaten path & even got to see Lilly’s! That was an unexpected treat. Highly recommend. Only sad thing was road was closed.

Easy, excellent way to see the coastline and learn about the history of the area. Super easy to follow the guidance. The view along the way is spectacular.

We loved the ability to travel at our own pace, skip some of the stops and catch the tour up to where we wanted to spend time. The narration was pleasant and informative, the technology only took a moment to figure out and the history of the area really enhanced our drive down to Big Sur. My only complaint is I couldn’t figure out how to change the measurements to miles from kilometers.
