Driving along this coast offers stunning and breath-taking views of the coastal region of Central California. Coming out of a sharp bend while driving south from Carmel and Monterey, tourists and regular drivers alike, stop for a breath of fresh air while takin in the awesome scenery - a treat for professional and amateur photographers.

This picture is taken from the layby on the Cabrillo Highway along the Pacific Coast, looking south, towards Carmel. Big Sur is a sparsely populated region of the Central Coast of California where the Santa Lucia Mountains rise abruptly from the Pacific Ocean. The name "Big Sur" is derived from the original Spanish-language "el sur grande", meaning "the big south", or from "el país grande del sur", "the big country of the south". The terrain offers stunning views, making Big Sur a popular tourist destination. Big Sur's Cone Peak is the highest coastal mountain in the contiguous 48 states, ascending nearly a mile (5,155 feet/1571 m) above sea level, only three miles (4.8 km) from the ocean.
Thank you Shawn Evans for driving us there from San Mateo.
