Continuing to walk, continuing to walk, Zhang Feng came to [South Point].

From the [Rocky Coast] around the pine-covered slopes, down the stone steps between the mountains, Zhang Feng came to another scenic spot [South Corner]. The southern corner is a semi-arc bay surrounded by slender rocks, and on the land side there are many strange limestone formations, some like bears, some like lions, just use your imagination, and on the sea side there is a small piece of soft sand, and the cascading waves roll along the bay into a circle of arcs, just like a dynamic beautiful picture

I saw a rock like a mighty and burly brown bear, and I saw another rock, which seemed to be a prelude to fiddling with the "orchid finger", and a bush of wild flowers blooming next to the rock added to the life.

"Can you see far away by climbing high? How far can you see this endless sea?" Zhang Feng asked the sky.

【Sea Lion Point】

As the name suggests, there are a large number of sea lions clustered on the reef here. From a distance, they overlap densely, like a wriggling mollusk

Garrapata State Park

After leaving the Cape Robles State Reserve, Zhang Feng drove past [Grapata State Park], because of the itinerary, Zhang Feng could only stop at the periphery of the park, and did not go deep into the trail to the coast.

If you have time, hike the winding trails of Grapata State Park to the edge of the ocean and take in the high tides along the coast.

Bixby Bridge - One of the landmarks of Big Sur

Follow the winding Highway 1 to the Biquebis Bridge, which appears millions of times in car advertisements and is probably the most photo-shared spot along the Big Sur coast on social media. Stops at numerous turnoffs to enjoy the view of the bridge from a different perspective.

Completed in 1932 at a cost of about $200,000, this concrete span is the tallest bridge of its kind in the world, 85 meters from the bottom of the steep canyon carved out of Bixby Creek. Bixby Creek was named after Charles Henry Bixby, a timber merchant from New York, who arrived on the Monterey Peninsula in 1868 and purchased a large tract of land. Completed on October 15, 1932, the Bixby Bridge is a 218-meter concrete arch bridge with a 7.3-meter wide subgrade, 85-meter height, and a 98-meter span, making it the longest span bridge in California's highway system.

The Bixby Bridge is often used in car advertisements because of its special location and beautiful scenery, and it has become one of the most photographed locations on the West Coast. Looking at the steep and crushing cliffs of the canyon, you will understand that building this bridge is no easy task. The first step was to build a huge wooden frame, where trucks had to cross narrow, one-way roads full of sharp turns to transport building materials. At the time, there were no heavy-duty machines to help with the lifting problem, and a staggering 45,000 bags of cement were transported through a rope-suspended platform and sling system 85 meters above the stream. Interestingly, the bridge span was completed earlier than the highway and more than five years before the road connecting Carmel to San Luis Obispo opened to traffic.

Point Sur Lighthouse

The location of the Cape Sur Lighthouse is obvious, from Carmel along the Pacific Coast Highway to San Simon, near Point Sur, you can see the indicator of the Cape Sur Lighthouse next to the road. Cape Sur is located on the island of Lulian in the Santa Lucia mountain range jutting out into the Pacific Ocean. Cape Souls is a dangerous location along the California coastline, especially after the mid-19th century, when the California Gold Rush increased shipping along the coast and caused many ships to be destroyed, so lighthouses were built to guide it. When I arrived here, I learned that the Cape Sur Lighthouse is a lighthouse that requires an appointment to visit.

Point Sur Lighthouse is located on the top of an isolated hill by the sea, and there is a gate at the entrance of the Iron General, who cannot go to visit privately, and can only be led up the mountain by a guide at a fixed time and must follow the tour team down the mountain after a full three hours. Zhang Feng could only admire Lulian Island where the lighthouse was located from a distance.

Zhang Feng continued along California Highway 1, known as the most beautiful highway in California, all the way south, and the next stop was Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park.

The origin of the name Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park can be traced back to John Pfeiffer. John Pfeiffer was the son of Michael Pfeiffer and Barbara Laquet, and the Pfeiffer family immigrated from Germany to the Big Sur region and was one of the first European immigrants to the region. Pfeiffer began living in the Valley area of the Big Sur River in 1884, and many of Pfeiffer's descendants still live in the Big Sur area today.

The attraction of this state park is mainly focused on the valley of the Big Sur River and its nearby coast. Many people are often confused with Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, which is famous for Mcay Falls, and Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, which is best known for Pfeiffer Beach.

On the way, Zhang Feng met the little girl in the purple skirt holding her mother's hand, she and her mother were a beautiful scenery on this beautiful beach, and it also became a scenery in Zhang Feng's camera.

Pfeiffer Beach is about 7 to 8 kilometers long from north to south, and the beach is close to the cliffs, which is a very wonderful cliff landscape on the Pacific Coast Highway. Zhang Feng stood on this beach, listening to the echo of the waves crashing against the cliff. Pfeiffer Beach is also the legendary "Purple Beach", but under normal sunshine, Zhang Feng did not feel that the sand on the beach had any so-called "purple" color, and some people took pictures of the "purple beach" effect, Zhang Feng thought it was because of the light.

Seeing a little boy sitting alone by the seaweed bush playing in the sand, Zhang Feng couldn't help but take a few photos.

Big Sur is world-renowned for its magnificent, unique cliffs, including the sea erosion arches formed by the long-term erosion of the waves. These sea-carved arches at Pfeiffer Beach are like a doorway carved into the rock, and the waves never stop coming in and out.

Pfeiffer Beach is located about a mile south of Big Sur Station in State Park. The entrance fork in Pfeiffer Beach is just off State Route 1 and is not easy to find because there are no signs. It is a very special and beautiful beach that belongs to the Federal [Los Padres National Forest].
