Central California Coast
The Central California coast contains a rugged and remote coastline that was until the 1930's considered one of continental America's last frontiers. Finally in 1937 it's first road was completed, a beautiful 71 mile stretch of highway that runs directly between seaside mountains and the jagged coastline. The "Pais Grand Del Sur" or "The Big Country Down South" from Monterey was finally open for the world to see.
The "Big Sur" name stuck. There are waterfalls and redwoods, land bridges and mountain ranges. This gallery covers roughly the area of Pismo beach in the south, to Monterey in the north, but you'll also see a few pictures from other coastal communities in California.
