The spot the droves of tourists stop is at the Bixby Creek Bridge (that you can see in the distance). It is a beautiful spot no doubt. But drive 5 minutes further south to Hurricane Point, at a high point in the road, and get a better view of the coastline. And you don't have to battle all the tourons to find a parking spot. Bring a jacket though, the wind is racing at premium speeds at Hurricane Point.
A particularly scenic viewpoint on California Highway 1 just south of Bixby Bridge. Up ahead lays mile upon mile of dramatic coastline along one of the best driving roads in the world.

The Doorway Arch at Pfeiffer Beach in Big Sur. Warm sunshine, dark purple sand, and a few sea lions makes for a beautiful day at the beach.
