My Storied Journeys

EXPLORING RAGGED POINT

Ragged Point

On a motorcycle ride between San Simeon and Ragged Point we experienced some of the world’s most picturesque scenery. Highway 1 winds alongside the majestic Santa Lucia Mountains, meeting the Pacific Ocean with breathtaking views at every turn.

But nothing compared to what we found when we arrived at Ragged Point. Perched along the captivating coastline of Big Sur, Ragged Point emerged as a secluded treasure. The point offers awe-inspiring views of rugged cliffs, tumultuous waves, and boundless ocean expanses.
