If you need to escape the hustle and bustle, Big Sur is the perfect spot to recharge. This stunning region along California’s central coast is where the Santa Lucia Mountains meet the Pacific Ocean in one breathtaking scene after another.
As you drive along the famous Highway 1, you’ll want to pull over at every viewpoint to soak in the rugged cliffs and crashing waves. Don’t miss iconic spots like Bixby Creek Bridge for some epic coastal views.
When you’re ready to explore, lace up your hiking shoes and wander through redwood forests at Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park. Or check out Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park to see the gorgeous 80-foot McWay Falls spilling onto the beach.
Big Sur’s natural wonders extend offshore too. Rent a kayak and paddle past cool kelp forests full of marine life. You might even spot whales if you’re there during migration season! For a unique perspective, take a guided hiking tour along the region’s renowned trails, immersing yourself in the sights, sounds, and scents of this coastal paradise.
