Cool winds, scenic views, lovely spots for picnic. Old coast road was an exhilarating drive! Some good motels and eat outs as well.

We saw the high ranking Trip Advisor reviews (#6 out of 15 Big Sur attractions), and sufficiently forewarned it was tough on the car, decided to go for it... and almost immediately regretted it.This is a steep, rocky, pothole-lined road and other than a nice vista of Bixby Bridge and a few fun moments in redwood forest, the views were mediocre at best. One car traveling too fast around a bend nearly careened into us, and another nearly backed off the cliff trying to make way for us to pass. Not to mention the myriad of rocks that crunched and popped under our wheels as we drove over them--all the while praying we wouldn't get a flat tire. One previous reviewer actually got a flat tire.Overall, most of the time our teeth were too clenched and our muscles too tense to enjoy the all too brief enjoyable moments. Too much risk and work for way too little reward. Much better vistas can be had along the 1, so I'd recommend you give Old Coast Road a skip. We wish we had.

We enjoyed the Old Coast Road. Ten miles of typical dirt Co. Road. Some quiet secluded travel. Driving thru some redwood groves and other back road lands. I can not recommend this road to any low profile car. Quite a bit of rain washout from our wet December. We were in a Jeep Grand Cherokee, no issues. Again, we enjoyed the ride. Just make sure you get north to Carmel before sunset. Highway 1 locked up completely after the sunset crowd started for home!

It is 75 miles from San Simeon to Big Sur. Very steep and hair pin turns. They have improved it over the years but it is still knarley.

The drive on old coast road was great. There are better views of Bixby Bridge from this road. The redwood trees are beautiful. It took about 2 hours to drive it but we stopped a lot. I didn't find the drive to be dangerous at all. We were in a four wheel drive jeep wrangler. I wouldn't recommend in small car...the car being open was part of what made it so great.

We drove from San Francisco to Santa Barbra and took the scenic route and it was awesome yes the roads are windy put the views are spectacular, there are lots of places to stop and enjoy the view we took a few sandwiches and just enjoyed the experience would defiantly recommend.

I read about this road on Trip Advisor and it was as much fun as expected. I was warned not to take it by the residents if it had recently rained. Fortunately, it was dry, a little bit rough at times, but a fun adventure. You see such a wide variety of topography: forests, hillsides, ranches, and ocean views. The Old coast Road goes from the Bixby Bridge to Andrew Molera. It was a fun adventure in which you never seemed to know what could be around the corner.

The Big Sur section of the PCH highway is by far the best part.Fantastic cliff vistas and tight, winding roads make for a very engaging drive with magnificent views. The roads are nowhere near as bad as some people on here have made it seem and any car will be able to manage the drive - it certainly isn't rough or unsafe - and even if you take it at a slow pace there are plenty of turn-offs for you to pull over and let traffic pass.If you are short on time - skip the rest of the PCH and just do the big sur part!

This is probably one of my favorite places I've visited in the USA, heck probably even the world. I remember standing mountainside with the wind at my back looking out over the Pacific Ocean and thinking "I have seen the most beautiful place on this planet." This "off-roading" experience is so worth your time!!

This route is a must. Amazing views of white water and open ocean. Most spectacular driving south. Breathtaking and plenty of spots to pull ocw and just be amazed.
