À quoi s'attendre
1
Big Sur
As the audio guides play commentary based on your gps location (and direction), you can create your own itinerary along the tour route(s) to match your interests and schedule. Or you can use our trip planners for our suggestions on half, full or multi day itineraries. Some of the many highlights are listed below;
2
Bixby Bridge
Perhaps the single most photographed location on the entire Highway 1 drive, this concrete arch span bridge has been the star of many car commercials and movie driving scenes. We'll share the best angles to capture this great shot for yourself.
3
Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park
The ancient Redwood trees which grow to more than 360 feet in height are one of the tallest tree species on Earth. The unique micro climate conditions of thick summer fog, moderate temperatures and winter rain allow a thin band of trees to grow along this portion of the Californian coast. The best place to hug these friendly giants is at Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park.
4
Hearst Castle
Once the playground and place where one of America's richest men would entertain his Hollywood friends, artists and global politicians. Filled with an amazing art collection and all manner of European and home-grown stylings, the property grew from a vacation cottage to an estate of palatial quality, and earned the nickname of Hearst Castle. Visitors are taken by shuttle from the welcome center and are provided with a choice of tours to explore the opulent residence.
5
McWay Falls
The most attractive of many waterfalls to be found along the Big Sur drive. McWay Falls cascades from the forest, over a rock ledge and tumbles directly onto a white sand beach. Set in a beautiful cove it's impossible not to take fantastic photos. Truly a magical place. And seals often choose this as the best place to take a nap on the beach.
6
Morro Bay
A coastal city known for the volcanic plug Morro Rock landmark that juts up from the water. It's also a great stop for dining in oceanfront restaurants and exploring the Embarcadero, filled with stores and art galleries.
7
Pfeiffer Beach
We'll provide a little help to point out the almost hidden turn in for Pfeiffer State Beach but once your make your way down the narrow road to the entrance, we promise it will be worth it. What awaits? A beautiful rugged coastline, crashing waves, the Keyhole Sea Arch and purple sand that is made by tiny flecks of garnet. Remember to take cash as there is an entrance/parking fee. No credit or debit accepted.
8
Point Lobos
The Point Lobos State Natural Reserve close to Carmel has a rich underwater habitat excellent for spotting a number of sea animals including seabirds, seals and sea lions, otters and gray whales. Numerous hiking trails and a cultural history museum in a small cabin that showcases the diving and whaling history. Enjoy views directly from the carparks, or walk the easy shoreline trail system.
9
Elephant Seal Vista Point
You'll see elephant seals year round at the Piedras Blancas Rookery about 7 miles north of San Simeon on Highway 1, and the population can swell to around 17,000 at its peak. There is plenty of parking and a raised boardwalk area where you can safely observe. And often Friends of the Elephant Seals docents (in bright blue jackets) are present that can answer your questions and take donations.

Grand Sur
Au fur et à mesure que les audioguides diffusent des commentaires en fonction de votre position GPS (et de votre direction), vous pouvez créer votre propre itinéraire le long du ou des itinéraires de la visite en fonction de vos intérêts et de votre emploi du temps. Ou vous pouvez utiliser nos planificateurs de voyage pour nos suggestions d'itinéraires d'une demi-journée, d'une journée complète ou de plusieurs jours. Certains des nombreux faits saillants sont énumérés ci-dessous;
20
Pont de Bixby
Peut-être l'endroit le plus photographié sur l'ensemble de l'autoroute 1, ce pont à travée en arc en béton a été la vedette de nombreuses publicités automobiles et scènes de conduite de films. Nous partagerons les meilleurs angles pour capturer ce superbe cliché par vous-même.
21
Parc d'État Pfeiffer Big Sur
Les anciens séquoias qui atteignent plus de 360 ​​​​pieds de hauteur sont l'une des espèces d'arbres les plus hautes de la planète. Les conditions microclimatiques uniques d'un épais brouillard estival, de températures modérées et de pluies hivernales permettent à une mince bande d'arbres de pousser le long de cette partie de la côte californienne. Le meilleur endroit pour embrasser ces sympathiques géants est le parc d'État Pfeiffer Big Sur.
22
Château de Hearst
Autrefois le terrain de jeu et le lieu où l'un des hommes les plus riches d'Amérique recevait ses amis, artistes et hommes politiques d'Hollywood. Remplie d'une étonnante collection d'art et de toutes sortes de styles européens et locaux, la propriété est passée d'une maison de vacances à un domaine de qualité somptueuse et a gagné le surnom de Hearst Castle. Les visiteurs sont emmenés en navette depuis le centre d'accueil et bénéficient d'un choix de visites pour explorer l'opulente résidence.
23
Chutes McWay
La plus attrayante des nombreuses chutes d'eau se trouve le long de la route de Big Sur. McWay Falls tombe en cascade depuis la forêt, sur un rebord rocheux et tombe directement sur une plage de sable blanc. Situé dans une belle crique, il est impossible de ne pas prendre de superbes photos. Vraiment un endroit magique. Et les phoques choisissent souvent cet endroit comme le meilleur endroit pour faire une sieste sur la plage.
24
Baie de Morro
Ville côtière connue pour le bouchon volcanique Morro Rock qui surplombe l'eau. C'est également une étape idéale pour dîner dans des restaurants en bord de mer et explorer l'Embarcadero, rempli de magasins et de galeries d'art.
25
Plage de Pfeiffer
Nous vous fournirons un peu d'aide pour souligner le virage presque caché vers Pfeiffer State Beach, mais une fois que vous aurez emprunté la route étroite menant à l'entrée, nous vous promettons que cela en vaudra la peine. Qu'est-ce qui vous attend ? Un magnifique littoral accidenté, des vagues déferlantes, l'arche de la mer Keyhole et du sable violet composé de minuscules taches de grenat. N'oubliez pas de prendre de l'argent car il y a des frais d'entrée /de stationnement. Aucun crédit ou débit accepté.
26
Point Lobo
La réserve naturelle d'État de Point Lobos, près de Carmel, possède un riche habitat sous-marin, excellent pour observer un certain nombre d'animaux marins, notamment des oiseaux de mer, des phoques et des lions de mer, des loutres et des baleines grises. Nombreux sentiers de randonnée et musée d'histoire culturelle dans une petite cabane qui présente l'histoire de la plongée et de la chasse à la baleine. Admirez la vue directement depuis les parkings ou parcourez le réseau facile de sentiers côtiers.
27
Éléphant de mer Vista Point
Vous verrez des éléphants de mer toute l'année à Piedras Blancas Rookery à environ 11 km au nord de San Simeon sur l'autoroute 1, et la population peut atteindre environ 17 000 à son apogée. Il y a beaucoup de places de stationnement et une promenade surélevée où vous pouvez observer en toute sécurité. Et souvent, des guides Amis des éléphants de mer (en vestes bleu vif) sont présents pour répondre à vos questions et recevoir des dons.
