Done this drive multiple times both directions. Skip the 17-mile drive as while it's nice and scenic, you'll find even better scenery for free as you get to Big Sur.
It's a bit of a trick to find but Pfeiffer State Beach is a must stop. Expect to pay $5 to park. Google it and you'll want to go.
Absolutely have lunch on the deck of Nepenthe Restaurant overlooking the ocean.
We're going again June 8th.
