Jun 24, 2010 - I drove back down the coast toward Big Sur, and I lucked out: the sun came out!! Yay!! Garrapata Beach was so beautiful – with lots of iceplant and other wildflowers – lots of colors. Gorgeous. The whole drive was really beautiful. The different blues of the ocean and the white spray of the waves remind me of Hawaii. 
There is a section where the iceplant is bright red, which is striking against the white sand dunes. 
Then I stopped at Point Lobos. Although I had heard that you can watch the sea otters here, the cliff is too high up, and the water too far down below, to see the sea creatures very well. But I enjoyed my walk through the forest to get to the point (Spanish moss on trees, for example), and the point itself was beautiful. I’ve never seen anything quite like it before.
In the evening I enjoyed watching a covey of California quail wandering through the campground.
