It is undoubtedly the most spectacular drive in the contiguous 48 states. Some of the highlights along the way are Hurricane Point, Post Ranch, Ventana, Nepenthe, Bixby Bridge, Pfeiffer Beach, Molera Beach, Ventana Wilderness Area, Henry Miller Memorial Library, Coast Gallery, Point Sur Light House and hundreds of miles of hiking trails. I would recommend the following. Some caution should be exercised because the wind and sea can be very hazzardous if you go ouside the harbor. Many boats take whale watchers out every day.
Whales are plentiful.
