Ragged Point Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

The California coast is always beautiful! Hiked down to the shore here.
Beautiful view
Big Sur is a must when in California. And you absolutely have to catch the sunset there, it's a surreal experience. If you're adventurous, the ultimate coastal drive is southward -- from SF to LA. That way, you'd be driving on the edge.
View of Big Sur coast near south turnaround point at Ragged Point. Pacific Coast Highway is closed from here to north of Bixby Bridge due to four different mud slide, road closure spots. #california #outdoors (April 2017)
Big Sur on a misty day. Cool and gorgeous.
