It is a reinforced concrete open-spandrel arch bridge. The bridge is 120 miles (190 km) south of San Francisco and 13 miles (21 km) south of Carmel in Monterey County along State Route 1.
McWay Falls is an 80-foot-tall waterfall on the coast of Big Sur in central California that flows year-round from McWay Creek in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, about 37 miles south of Carmel, into the Pacific Ocean. It is a tidefall, a waterfall that empties directly into the ocean, A relatively rare thing, there are only approximately 25 tidefalls found across the globe. There are only six in all of North America. McWay Falls, shown here, is one of two found in California, the other being Alamere Falls.
