A 1932 concrete arch bridge spanning a coastal canyon, with pull-outs on the north side for photos. Walk down the old road for a different angle. It's on every Big Sur itinerary.

Good to know

  • Park in the pull-outs on the north side
  • Don't stop on the bridge itself
  • Watch for traffic at the pull-outs
