Page 84 - WINE DINE AND TRAVEL SPRING 2021 REDISCOVERING CALIFORNIA'S CENTRAL COAST

THE ROAD TO MONTEREY

Driving Big Sur Highway �

We’ve traveled spectacular stretches of road the world
over - Italy’s Amalfi Coast, Cape Town’s Chapman’s Peak
Drive, and the Hana Highway on Maui to name a few. But
the 90-mile drive up the Pacific Coast Highway from San
Simeon’s Hearst Castle to Point Lobos has always been
our favorite. The winding, narrow road is high above a ma-
jestic, rugged coastline edged with towering peaks. Build-
ing it was an engineering marvel, and today it’s
California’s longest and most popular scenic route, at-
tracting millions of visitors annually.
