Our go-to hike when we're in town - a path through the plains lead to a purple sand beach punctuated by "the Keyhole," an arch rock formation in the water.

Esalen Institute

This one is a little tough, but if you can find reliable phone service, call Esalen first thing in the morning to reserve a midnight soak in their cliffside hot springs. Be aware that the springs are strictly nude-only.
Big Sur River Inn
46800 California 1, Big Sur, CA 93920, (831) 667-2700
The restaurant here is great, but on the DL: grab a burrito from the convenience store next door (they're the BEST) and have a beverage in the creek. This is where our brunch will be!
