Pacific Coast Highway – Big Sur

Pacific Coast Highway through Big Sur is one of the world's most spectacular drives. Highway 1 winds along steep cliffs, fog-enshrouded redwood forests, and endless views of the Pacific Ocean. The journey is about slow enjoyment: driving Highway 1, stopping at Bixby Bridge, hiking in Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park and Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, and taking breaks at hidden beaches and viewpoints. The area exudes freedom, raw natural beauty, and an almost meditative tranquility, especially at sunset when the light turns the cliffs golden.
