Highway 1

Highway 1 Big Sur Coastline - Ride and Photo Tips (UV Filter)

The California Coastline from Carmel and Big Sur offers dramatic scenery and enjoyable riding. This section of Highway 1 defines micro climates. On my most recent ride the weather was a typical 60's temp and mostly clear. However the section from just north of Bixby Bridge to the Andrew Molera State Park was very windy. The wind was pushing the bike around and could be difficult conditions for a beginning rider. Always be prepared for changing weather and visibility.

Photo Tip: Fighting haze with a UV filter

Fog and haze often pose a challenge to photographers on the California Coastline. A UV (ultraviolet) filter cuts the UV rays that make this fog and haze visible and will cut the blue tint; making your photos look much better with more definition and contrast.

This beautiful beach with Highway 1 and the mountains above is one of my favorite views. I always stop here to checkout the beach and how the surf has moved the sand.

Perfect Day

A perfect fall day on Highway 1. The fog was sitting off the coast and the waves were rolling in.
