Late afternoon between Carmel and Big Sur. There are several small pull outs with trails leading to and away from the coast. They are wonderful sources of photo ops!
I find this a magical place. The light is wonderful. Many of our earlier Calif photogs were drawn here, and to answer your question, yes, Clint used this area as backdrops for "Play Misty For Me". There are a lot of hidden homes nestled in the hills and cliffs overlooking the Pacific.
