Big Sur is known to be one of the most beautiful coastlines anywhere in the world. If you are renting a car, we highly recommend taking a drive along the Big Sur coastline. You will not be dissapointed! Places to stop are McWay Falls, Bixby Creek Bridge, and Big Sur River Inn and Restaurant for a bite to eat with astounding views.
It is peak whale watching season in Monterey during July/August! We recommend going on a whale watching tour to watch these giant majestic creatures wave hello with their tails and breach the magnificent waters of the Monterey seas! Wildlife visible in the vicinity include blue, gray, humpback, fin, minke and orca whales, as well as multiple species of dolphins, porpoises and seabirds
