• Tight curves and wide horizons: The return of Highway 1 (spokesman.com) — Highway 1 is fully reopened, restoring the classic coastal drive that begins for many travelers in Morro Bay and heads past Morro Rock toward Big Sur and Carmel. Locals can expect more visitors pulling off at Legends Bar and nearby viewpoints as road-trippers once again stream through town to visit Hearst Castle, elephant seals, and Big Sur’s famous beaches and bridges.
