Bixby Creek Bridge (Big Sur)
An iconic arched bridge on California's Big Sur coast, where mountains plunge to the Pacific.
Overview
Bixby Creek Bridge, on the rugged Big Sur coast of California, is one of the most photographed bridges in the world and the emblem of the spectacular Highway 1 coastal drive. The graceful, single-span concrete arch leaps across a deep canyon where Bixby Creek meets the sea, set against a backdrop of golden cliffs plunging to the crashing Pacific surf far below.
Completed in 1932, the bridge made the remote Big Sur coast accessible and became an icon of the dramatic meeting of mountain and ocean along this wild stretch of coastline. Viewpoints at either end draw crowds for photographs, especially at sunset, when the bridge and the rugged headlands glow. Bixby Bridge captures the essence of Big Sur — one of the most beautiful coastal drives on Earth.
