Big Sur Road Trip – California’s Scenic Highway 1

#holidayitinerary Driving along Highway 1 through Big Sur is an unforgettable experience, where dramatic cliffs meet the endless Pacific Ocean. The winding road is made even more magical with the perfect soundtrack, letting the sea breeze set the rhythm of the journey. Stop at Garrapata State Park (Gate 2) for a breathtaking viewpoint—watch anglers down on the rugged shore while misty mountains rise in the distance. For a short hike, Soberanes Point is just five minutes uphill, rewarding you with sweeping views, though the fierce wind makes standing a balancing act of its own. Big Sur proves that every stop is a postcard moment. #travel #trip #usa #staycation #thingstodo #myitinerary
