"Unbelievable view! We stopped for lunch and picture taking"

"This was one of the best, lowkey viewpoints on our drive down the coast. We stopped here just for a break in the drive and found out about the viewpoint after arriving. So glad we stopped! It’s free to view and there’s a pretty worn down trail down the steep hill that is “at your own risk.” I stayed above overlooking the stunning view instead in some chairs set out at the viewpoint. It was lovely!"

"Expected to see their beautiful views of the ocean. Unfortunately, it was overcast. Instead, we enjoyed viewing their beautiful flowers in bloom and the garden art at this fabulous stop. Still very worth the visit. There is a nice restaurant here too that we’ve dined many times in the past and a great reputable inn."

"Perfect place to stop for the night along Hwy 1! Don't try to do the road in 1 day, you will miss too much! Head here for a restful sleep, a tasty meal, and an INCREDIBLE sunset view! Oh, and it had the "Window to Big Sur" plus a really cool, though a bit sketchy, walking path down to the water!"
