The drive from Napa down to Big Sur is the most beautiful drive we made. This is a scenic route and there are plenty of areas as you drive down the Pacific Highway were you can stop and take in the views. Some of the locations we recommend to hike/stop to take photos are: - Point Lobos State Natural Reserve (Please note this is a hiking trail) - Pfeiffer Beach - purple sand and beautiful views - McWay Falls - waterfall next to the Pacific Ocean, stunning! (It's a bit of a hike but beginners are okay)
