Ragged Point (California)

The Ragged Point Inn and Resort is located in the area, which, as with much of Big Sur, features seaside cliffs, beaches, and hiking trails.

[1] Ragged Point is located in northwestern San Luis Obispo County at 35°45′35″N 121°19′40″W / 35.7596892°N 121.3277061°W / 35.7596892; -121.3277061[2], about 7 miles (11 km) north of the Piedras Blancas Light Station.

The rocky headland marks the southern end of the small bay where San Carpoforo Creek empties into the Pacific Ocean.

The area around Ragged Point is home to various forms of wildlife, including elephant seals, sea otters, and birds such as the Western snowy plover.

[1] The resort was built by Wiley and Mildred Ramey starting in the late 1950s on property that was formerly part of the Hearst Ranch.
