Bixby Bridge, Garrapata State Park and Secluded Beach Photo Tour

We'll begin our photography tour at the iconic Bixby Creek Bridge, one of the most photographed bridges in California. Here you will have the photo op of a lifetime. We'll start early so you can get the best view of the bridge with fewer people.

You will follow us up the beautiful scenic coast approx. 15 mins. where we'll stop at Garrapata State Park Bluff Trail and walk along the coastal trail to see the beautiful view of the California Coast and the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Photo opportunities are all around this beautiful marine sanctuary.

We'll drive 15 mins. up the road to our next stop where we'll take an easy and short hike down on a walkable trail to a secluded, pristine beach. We'll take photos along the way and enjoy the sounds of the waves.

Our next stop is a little further. As we head back toward Monterey, 30-45 mins. depending on traffic. We'll drive to Asilomar State Beach in Monterey, Ca. This long stretch of beach is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Monterey for its dramatic headlands and tidal pools as it's a little more remote than other beaches in Monterey proper. We'll take more beautiful photos and enjoy this incredible strip of beach.

5 mins. away is famous Lovers Point which offers plenty of photo opportunities. This is where the Monterey Coastal Trail runs along the sea wall and you'll find twisted cypress trees aligning the landscape.

Our last stop is a 15-20 min. drive to Old Fishermans Wharf. This has been one of my favorites since I was a kid. Many days, you can see you the Sea Otter's swimming in the marina. The colors are vibrant and the photos memorable. I'll show you the best spots for photos and food. On your way out, I suggest you grab some of their famous taffy to go.
