Santa Barbara and the Central Coast Sights

Highway 1

Highway 1 Review

One of California's most spectacular drives, Highway 1 snakes up the coast north of San Simeon. Numerous pullouts along the way offer tremendous views and photo ops. On some of the beaches, huge elephant seals lounge nonchalantly, seemingly oblivious to the attention of rubberneckers—but keep your distance.

CalTrans. In rainy seasons, portions of Highway 1 north and south of Big Sur are sometimes shut down by mudslides. Contact CalTrans for road conditions. 800/427-7623. www.dot.ca.gov.
