You probably have seen pictures of this bridge even if you had no idea what the name was or where it’s located. I know that’s how I first saw it. When you actually see it in person, you say “I know that bridge.” Let’s be clear. It’s a great looking bridge and it’s placed in a fabulous location. Whether you are coming from the north or the south as soon as you glimpse it, you focus on it like a laser, which is dangerous if you are driving. Better to have your spouse drive. The view is phenomenal and I have never driven by without seeing cars parked on the south side of the bridge and their drivers ogling in complete fascination. Usually, it’s filled to overflow and frustrated drivers are forced to move to a different location, further away, to ogle. Get there early so it doesn’t happen to you.

We started from Oceanfront Ranch ,drove to Bixby bridge and drove back to Lucia Lodge. This way we were able to experience North and South bound views. We went on 30th Nov. There was a risk of rain and land slides but it was a nice day BUT Careful our fears materialized a weak later when the 40 miles of Big Sur was actually closed off. Next time we will avoid the the rainy season

I've always seen pictures of this bridge and always wanted to visit. It is a must stop while travelling the PCH. The sights are amazing yet parking is kind of limited. Try to take your pictures on the north side of the bridge.

Visited this location along highway 1 on a recent trip to Monterey. It’s free to visit, cool to take pics at and can almost be squeezed into any trip when going somewhere nearby. This is one of the bridges along hwy 1 built in 1932.

We saw it on the way down in the hour before sunset, which is the perfect light. We saw it on the way back on a grey morning (typical in summer with the fog) which was much less favourable for good photos. Check out if you can see wildlife in the sea below, whilst you look at the views.

A must visit! Such an iconic site. The edge of the United States of America. It’s really beautiful to see the rocks’ edge and the ocean’s waves crashing against it. There’s a dirt road to the left of the bridge to be able to see the bridge from a different angle. Worth the very short drive from the bridge itself.

It truly is an amazing stop. The views of the bridge are incredible, but so is the view out into the ocean. There is ample parking on the ocean side and even more on the other side. Just don't park where it says not to. While we were there, we watched a CHP officer give two parkers $1,000 fine tickets for being in a very well signed no parking zone.
