  20 May – 10 Eyl · geneldeGünübirlikçi baskınıKalabalık

  Summer fog

  1 Haz – 31 AğuSis sezonu

  The marine layer sits on the coast through the summer, so the famous views are grey until midday and the redwood canyons are cold. September and October are the clear months here.

  Blue and humpback whales offshore

  1 Tem – 15 Eki · geneldeBalina sezonu

  Upwelling packs krill into the submarine canyon and the big rorquals work the shelf all summer. The boats go from Monterey, but on a flat day you can pick out blows from the headland pullouts. Kaynak ↗

  The Ventana wilderness burns regularly and a bad fire closes the highway, the state parks and the campgrounds at once. Late summer and autumn are when it happens. Kaynak ↗

  Elephant seals at Piedras Blancas

  1 Ara – 31 May · geneldeYaban hayatı sezonu

  Thousands of northern elephant seals haul out on the beach at the south end of the coast road, pupping in January and moulting into spring. Free, unfenced and audible from the car park. Kaynak ↗

  Highway 1 slide season

  1 Ara – 15 Nis · geneldeRisk

  Winter storms put rock and mud onto the coast road most years, and a bad slide can shut a section for months or seasons. Check the state road conditions before you commit to driving through. Kaynak ↗

  Keyhole Arch sunset

  8–28 Ara · geneldeKaranlık gökyüzü sezonuKalabalık

  For a fortnight around the solstice the setting sun lines up through the arch at Pfeiffer Beach and lights the water inside it. The tiny car park fills by three and the unsigned road in is easy to drive past. Kaynak ↗

  Gray whale migration

  15 Ara – 1 May · geneldeBalina sezonu

  The southbound migration passes close inshore from mid-December, and the northbound mothers and calves hug the coast even closer from March. Any pull-out with a view will do.
