Ragged Point
16 miles north of Hearst Castle on Hwy 1 is Ragged Point. If you are traveling north to Monterey; the inn, restaurant and services there could be your last taste of civilization for many rollicking miles. Artist and Michigan native Ken Christensen, who is currently exhibiting “The Central Coast in Living Color” at Studios on the Park in Paso Robles, describes his visits to Ragged Point: “I love Big Sur and go there often not so much to paint as just for the pure stimulation of the awe-inspiring natural beauty. I always head up to Big Sur from the south so when I arrive at Ragged Point I always stop for a cup of coffee. It’s the beginning of Big Sur and coincidentally Rocky Point seems to be the perfect bookend at the northern edge of Big Sur.” I think the breath and movement of our Pacific Coast come to life through these bold colors! Did you catch a whiff of that chilly sea breeze off the cliffs?
