The park is centered on the Big Sur River. It has been nicknamed a "mini Yosemite." Redwood trees are known to live up to 2,200 years.

3

Pacific Coast Highway

Small, remote inlet & rugged beach reached by a dirt trail, wooden bridge & tunnel.

5

We'll continue driving, while admiring and learning about Point Sur and the Point Sur Lighthouse.

7

Andrew Molera State Park

Our tour then takes us through the Andrew Molera State Park, another natural wonder of this drive. We'll also learn about Big Sur's literary fame.

8

Pfeiffer Beach

Pfeiffer Beach in the Big Sur area is definitely off the beaten path, but well worth the detour. Just south of Big Sur Station on Highway 1 is unsigned Sycamore Canyon Road which winds its way down to the shore.

9

Grimes Point Scenic Overlook

Grimes Point Scenic Overlook has got one of the best views of the Big Sur coastline. It's easy to see what brings people to a place like Big Sur.

10

Seal Beach Scenic Overlook

Our self-guided drive takes us to Seal Beach Overlook where -- you guessed it! -- we'll be able to spot some sunbathing seals.

11

McWay Falls

Another must stop is at McWay Falls. This stunning 80-foot-tall waterfall on the coast of Big Sur in central California that flows year-round.

12

Big Creek Bridge

Next, we drive over the Big Creek Bridge. This is a 589-foot-long, open spandrel, concrete deck arch bridge connecting this scenic, mountainous coast.

13

Big Creek Cove Vista Point

15

Jade Cove

Jade Cove features a beach full of nephrite jade.

16

Ragged Point

The stretch of highway between San Simeon and Ragged Point is some of the most picturesque in the world. The roadway follows where the majestic Santa Lucia Mountains meet the Pacific Ocean, with jaw-dropping views around every twist and turn. As you drive, plenty of turnoffs offer moments for taking in the region’s grandeur. As you drive to Ragged Point, you will feel like a star in your own private car commercial on Highway 1.

17

Piedras Blancas Light Station

As we drive past the Piedras Blancas Lighthouse, we'll have the option to stop and detour for a visit.

18

Elephant Seal Vista Point

Nothing beats the Elephant Seal Vista Point. The largest seal in the northern hemisphere, the Northern Elephant Seal migrates to the rookery, twice each year. While offshore, the elephant seal spends eight to ten months diving up to 5,800 feet deep for up to two hours. The remaining months of the year, they mate, birth, molt, and rest onshore between trips.

19

Hearst Castle

As we drive through San Simeon, we'll have the option to detour to Hearst Castle. Conceived by William Randolph Hearst, the publishing tycoon, it was built between 1919 and 1947.

20

Nitt Witt Ridge

The one with the blue paint and all the terraces? That’s Nitt Witt Ridge, a peculiar landmark here in Cambria. You might not be able to tell at first glance, but a lot of that house is built from trash. Seriously! It was built by an eccentric artist named Arthur Harold Beal who had an odd fascination with garbage. He actually worked as a garbage collector in the mid-1900s and used some of what he collected to build his home. There are beer cans, car rims, washer drums, you name it, built into the structure of the house. **

21

Morro Bay

Finally, we'll reach Morro Bay, San Luis Opispo, and Pismo Beach, where this segment of our PCH tour ends. You've now experienced the beauty of Big Sur!

Пляж Пфайффер

Пляж Пфайффер в районе Биг-Сур, безусловно, находится в стороне от проторенных дорог, но он того стоит. К югу от станции Биг-Сур на шоссе 1 находится дорога без знака Сикамор-Каньон, которая спускается к берегу.

72

Живописный вид на Граймс-Пойнт

83

Нитт Витт Ридж

Тот, что с синей краской и всеми террасами? Это Нитт-Витт-Ридж, своеобразная достопримечательность Камбрии. Возможно, вы не сможете сказать это с первого взгляда, но большая часть этого дома построена из мусора. Серьезно! Он был построен эксцентричным художником по имени Артур Гарольд Бил, который имел странное увлечение мусором. На самом деле он работал сборщиком мусора в середине 1900-х годов и использовал часть собранного для строительства своего дома. В конструкцию дома встроены пивные банки, автомобильные диски, барабаны стиральных машин и так далее. **
