If you put this road on stable ground, I think it would be about 50 miles inland. The entire coastline is shifting, as it has done for centuries. They 'fix' this stuff continually - just look at that photo above, and note the area a quarter mile up from the bridge, where they did the previous repair of a slide. Hwy 1 is truly a national treasure, and getting to drive it was one of my high points, but in some ways it is like a big living meme about mankind's arrogant (and futile) attempt to corral nature.
