"Big Sur, one of the world’s most unforgettable stretches of coastline. This roughly 90 mile long stretch of redwood and fog trimmed waterfront between Carmel by the Sea and Hearst Castle draws you (and writers like Henry Miller and Beat Generation darling Jack Kerouac) in with a magic allure that is almost palpable. This is, quite simply, a place you want to be: bluffs, sea and sky. The classic drive through Big Sur, along twisting Highway 1, offers plenty of pullovers at places like seen it in a million car commercials Bixby Bridge. Stop at parks along the coastline and look up to see endangered California condors, North America’s largest birds, or look down to scan the swells for migrating whales or sea otters floating among dense beds of kelp, California’s signature seaweed." - Visit California
