FJ Cruisers of Northern California

Old Coast Road...Big Sur

Made a last minute decision to drive Old Coast Road in Big Sur after the Big Sur Marathon finished up last Sunday. It's a fun easy cruise that takes you way off Hwy 1 and the rest of the tourist traffic. If you haven't been on it, the North access point is at the North Side of Bixby Bridge and the Southern access point it across the street from the entrance of Andrew Molera State Park.

Looks amazing thanks for sharing! Is it a fire road or is it mostly paved? I live near Oakland and have been looking for some fire roads to explore around the area.

No pavement...all dirt/gravel/small rock. This is the original road down to Big Sur before the now famous Bixby Bridge was built, which I think was around 1931 or '32.
