Extra Adventures
Big Sur Bakery
Kevin and I love stopping by here in the mornings on our way down to Ragged Point Inn. Kevin recommends the ginger & chive scone. Alex recommends the oat milk latte ($1 off if you bring your own mug!)
Bixby Creek Bridge
Landmark bridge with amazing views you experience when driving south along Highway 1.
McWay Falls
80-ft waterfall that flows year-round. A small park-and-walk away along Highway 1.
Hearst Castle
Historic landmark with breathtaking views and architecture. It is a castle along the sea!
Point Lobos State Natural Reserve
Great day-hikes along the California coast right off Highway 1. Parking inside the reserve costs $10, but many travelers park outside of it along Highway 1 and walk in for free (though a $1 donation is recommended). You can visit anytime from 8AM-7PM.
Monterey Bay Aquarium
Aquarium featuring California wildlife, especially the California otters! You can spend 2-3 hours here, or easily an entire day.
