This is one of the most beautiful spots you’ll find on the drive along California State Route 1. It’s located where Little Sur River empties into the Pacific Ocean, only a few miles from Carmel and Monterey.
This was taken the third time I drove by Little Sur River Beach in the last two years, and finally, on this day luck was on my side with the regard to weather. The third time’s a charm, I guess. It was an unusually warm January evening – windy but warm with thick, white clouds covering the horizon but leaving the rest of the sky exposed and illuminated by the sun.
It took a lot of willpower to give up this view and pack my tripod so I could drive into the fog and clouds to another spot along the California coast.
