Krista & Shayne at Nepenthe.
A road trip up the Pacific Coast Highway through Big Sur offers some of the most dramatic vistas in the United States. With the Santa Lucia Mountains rising abruptly from the deep blue Pacific Ocean and the dramatic arch bridges connecting the road across steep valleys, this region of California’s Central Coast is all majesty. Stop to enjoy the view at Nepenthe, a sprawling restaurant with an enormous deck perched high above the ocean. It’s been in business and family-owned since 1949 catering to both travelers and the offbeat community of artists, poets, and vagabonds that call this splendid and sparsely populated region home. Order the famous Ambrosia Burger and a glass of local California wine. Then, sit back, relax, and languor over the breathtaking views.
