Lover’s Point Park

This 4+ acre park is heavenly.

Doing nothing but sitting here and staring out at the mesmerizing water for hours is something you’ll find yourself loving, and we certainly won’t judge you for doing so.

If you’re up for a bit of adventure, grab a kayak or some binoculars to set your sights on some of the area’s fabulous native marine life.

Big Little Lies fans will surely recognize this park from a number of scenes, including the fender-bender scene where Madeline and Jane’s friendship begins.

 

Highway 1

Traveling along Highway 1 may be the pinnacle of this road trip.

We strongly urge you to blast “Cold Little Heart” on your car speakers, and you’ll feel like you’re driving through the opening credits of the show.

Because guess what -- you are.

Along Highway 1 is where each Big Little Lies episode begins, with Madeline behind the wheel.

Park your car at Garrapata State Park for the most picturesque views of the crashing waves and rugged coastline.

You’ll quickly recognize that Garrapata served as the backdrop for a number of scenes in the show. In fact, Big Little Lies production designers constructed an entirely new set of stairs for the show that remains in the park today.

Continue on to drive over the famous Bixby Bridge and stop to capture the perfect Big Little Lies snapshot.
