We left the beautiful coastal town of Monterey and went to Carmel-by-the-Sea via Pebble Beach and Del Monte Forest before staring our journey through the Big Sur Scenic Highway. It is a very nice coastal village and one of the most famous in California.
There are signs for the coastal village of Carmel-by-the-Sea from the minute you leave Del Monte Forest.
Once again, beautiful, luxurious houses overlooking the ocean caught our attention. The big windows revealing inside the houses were probably not a big deal for their residents, as they must be a great way of admiring the beautiful ocean.
There are a lot of places to stop along the way and we chose just some of the most important ones, as otherwise we would certainly have needed another day on the road.
The pictures speak for themselves, but some deserve a mention in this post.
Rocky Creek Bridge
Bixby Creek Bridge
Point Sur
Andrew Molera State Park
Nepenthe
Burns Creek Bridge
McWay Falls in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park. This one overlooks a nice beach at the bottom of a rather high waterfall.
Big Creek Bridge near Gamboa Point
Near Piedras Blancas you find the Elephant Seal Viewing Area. Lots of them were resting and playing on the shore.
It was a really exciting experience to see those lazy animals and the weird noises that they make.
We quickly passed through Morro Bay on the way to San Diego, where we would spend the next few days before going to Los Angeles and China.
Next stop, SeaWorld San Diego!
