🌊🚗 As more travelers hit the road this weekend, we’re reminding everyone what makes this coastline legendary: the freedom of the open road.

Highway 1 and iconic Bixby Bridge were meant to be experienced in motion, windows down, music up, and the journey unfolding around every curve. 🎶☀️

Please keep it moving and never stop on the roadway for photos, especially around busy areas like Bixby Bridge. 📸🚫

If you’d like to take in the view, use designated pullouts and parking areas only, and make sure your vehicle is completely off the roadway. If one pullout is full, continue to the next safe stop, there are breathtaking views around every turn. 🌿✨

Help keep Big Sur beautiful. Slow down, drive responsibly, and enjoy the journey.🤎🌊 Learn more. 👉 www.seemonterey.com/destinations/big-sur/responsible-travel/
