Photograph Bixby Bridge
Details
Added by Lucas Pols
Before the Golden Gate Bridge, this was the bridge to photograph.
You can't miss this bridge if you are driving north on highway one.
The best time for capturing sunsets behind the bridge is December. The positioning of the sun will better coincide with the location of the bridge.There are four main angles to capture the bridge:
- The first two are up close on either side of the bridge-- behind the bridge, you will find a couple of small trails that will lead you down the hillside a bit get a better angle on the bridge
- The third is by taking the dirt road to right before it starts going downhill.
- The fourth is another far shot that will give the entire coastline along with a bit of the bridge.There are of course small variations to each shot!
Great place to photograph and certainly a worthwhile stop while in Big Sur

Not crowded in the morning
We got here early in the morning and there were only a couple other cars. Very easy to pull into any turnouts you want. When we were coming back, it was so packed, not sure how people can stop there without just getting lucky later in the day. You can get iconic views of the bridge here
