This is a good place to get gas and some snacks for your time in Big Sur if you need them. It is at the southernmost end of the Big Sur coast. The Ragged Point Overlook is about 15 miles past Hearst Castle. The highlight of Ragged Point is the beautiful coastal views. If you’re looking for some extra time to take pictures with the bridge without a lot of people, head to the east overflow lot. We preferred the views from the west side, but it was definitely busier. On our way back to Monterey, the west side was open. On our way into Big Sur, the west side was closed due to construction, so we took the turnoff on the east side. You can view the bridge from both the east and west sides of the road. It is one of the most photographed bridges in California. If you are coming into Big Sur from the north, one of your first stops should be at the Bixby Creek Bridge. Take your time to enjoy the beauty around you. There are lots of places to pull over and enjoy the views.
