Condor viewing...eBird hotspot called "Big Sur Scenic Overlook ['Condor beach overlook'].

Another very good overlook that often has condors is a half-mile north, called "Grimes Pt." and Big Sur Scenic Overlook — are on Hwy 1, about 2.6 miles south of Nepenthe Restaurant, and 2.0 miles south of the Henry Miller Library. If you go south from Nepenthe and come to an art facility called "Coast Gallery," you have gone just a little too far south.
