Winding along the Pacific Coast Highway, you'll find yourself caught between mountains and sea in a landscape that defies belief. Bixby Bridge arches dramatically over a coastal canyon, providing the perfect photo opportunity. At Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, witness McWay Falls tumbling directly onto the beach below. Pfeiffer Beach rewards visitors with purple-tinged sand and massive rock formations with wave-carved keyholes. Los Padres National Forest offers hiking trails through ancient redwood groves where sunlight filters through in cathedral-like beams. Accommodations fill quickly, so book well ahead. Local tip: bring provisions as services are scarce along this magnificent stretch of coastline.
