Riding in Big Sur

From San Francisco, first take the really wide freeway toward San Jose, but follow the signs for „Pacifica“ or CA1

After the town of Pacifica, you finally reach the coast. The first interesting view is on the rocks of San Pedro

There is also a nice view from the viewpoint on the opposite side

Just a short walk away you will find three beautiful beaches next to each other. There is a large parking lot and from here you can go on a nice hike – climb Montara – North Peak (578m)

The CA1 road really runs most of the time along the coast, so there is still something to see

Most of the coast in these places is not built up, so the endless beaches are half empty

We stopped for the night in the tourist town of Monterey. You can see a large marina, bathing otters and small jellyfish. Relaxing city for one early evening and night

The most interesting is the second day of this trip, when you will find 200 kilometers from Monterey to San Luis Obispo. The mountains here fall directly into the sea and it is a rough region with only minimal development. The biggest attraction, practically right from the region is the famous Bixby Creek Bridge

The road then ascends to another great view – Hurricane Point view

The view of the famous Bixby Bridge is also great

On the other hand, the view is worth it

The nice Peninsula Peninsula is also interesting. The road will then head inland for a while, then lead another tens of kilometers over the dramatic coast of Big Sur. You can also see Lafler Rocks, McWay Rocks and many more
