Is Highway 1 in California Still Accessible Despite Road Closures? Must-Save Practical Guide

🏝 California's Highway 1, stretching from San Francisco down to Los Angeles, winds through breathtaking coastal scenery between azure seas and skies. Although a small section in Big Sur remains under repair, it doesn't diminish the charm of other stunning coastal attractions along the way. Bookmark this guide to navigate around closed sections and still unlock the ultra-soothing coastal views! We’ll break down current road closures + smooth workarounds to avoid traffic and backtracking. 👷‍♀️【Latest Road Closure Updates】 🚗 Most attractions along Highway 1 are currently open. Starting from San Francisco, you can easily reach **Big Sur** and its popular spots. However, note that the **Rocky Creek Bridge** in Big Sur is still under repair, blocking southbound traffic. At this point, you’ll need to turn back to Monterey. 🗾 If you plan to continue south to Los Angeles, detour via **Highway 101** from Monterey to San Luis Obispo (SLO) to reconnect with the coastline, bypassing construction zones. The inland route offers equally stunning mountain and countryside views—perfect for scenic shots without retracing your steps! 🌁【Must-Visit Open Attractions】 Here’s a list of classic, fully accessible spots from San Francisco → Los Angeles (north to south) 👇 ✅ Half Moon Bay ✅ Pigeon Point Lighthouse ✅ Santa Cruz ✅ Monterey ✅ Old Fisherman’s Wharf ✅ 17-Mile Drive ✅ Carmel-by-the-Sea ✅ Bixby Creek Bridge ✅ Hearst Castle ✅ Elephant Seal Rookery ✅ Solvang (Danish Village) ✅ Santa Barbara ✅ Santa Monica Beach 🚗【Recommended Itinerary】 **Day 1|Depart from San Francisco** San Francisco → Half Moon Bay → Pigeon Point Lighthouse → Santa Cruz → Monterey → Old Fisherman’s Wharf → Carmel-by-the-Sea **Day 2|Big Sur Loop + Detour** Carmel → 17-Mile Drive → Bixby Creek Bridge (turn around here) → Detour via Highway 101 → San Simeon → Elephant Seal Rookery → Hearst Castle → San Luis Obispo **Day 3|Arrive in Los Angeles** San Luis Obispo → Solvang (lunch at a Danish bakery) → Santa Barbara (waterfront + downtown) → Santa Monica Beach → Los Angeles ✅【Travel Tips】 ✔️ Download offline maps + fill up your tank (no service/gas stations in some areas)
