Things To Do
Salmon Creek Falls
Highly Recommended. A quick and easy trail (5 min) down to a waterfall! Located on the south end of Highway 1.
Limekiln State Park
This is our favorite campground and trail on the south end of Highway 1. The most gorgeous (easy) hike with miles of redwoods and flowing creeks that lead to a beautiful water fall. Day use Parking fee. A great stop on your way in or out of Big Sur (40 minute drive from the main part of Big Sur)
Bixby Creek Bridge
The legendary Bixby Bridge! The view from here is unreal! Definitely a must see! You will pass this coming from the North but is definitely worth the 15 minute drive from main Big Sur.
Pfeiffer Beach
Epic Beach! Massive rock formation in the water where the waves crash through a huge hole and spit out the other side. PRO TIP: Go at sunset. Just south of Big Sur Station on Hwy 1. The "unsigned" Sycamore Caynon road is a sharp right from main Big Sur and it can be easy to miss. The Google Maps coordinates are: (36.2401424, -121.7770690). Again NO SERVICE so screen shot the map on your phone. Fee for parking. Definitely gets very windy, so bring a jacket!
Sand Dollar Beach
Perfect spot for a relaxing beach day. Huge sandy beach and the waves here definitely get good, so check the swell brah and bring your surfboard.
Plaskett Creek Campground
Plaskett Creek is one of the most popular destinations for traveling surfers in Big Sur, due to its nearness to the surf at Sand Dollar Beach. Great camping area as well.
Big Sur Deli + Brewery
The best sandwiches ever to grab and go for a hike or beach day! And beer. Duh!
Big Sur River Inn
Located in the back on the hotel's convenience store, you will find the best breakfast or custom burrito! Grab one with a beer to go and sit down by the river. There is never a time we don't do this when we visit!
Esalen Institute Hot Springs
This place is insane. You can book a spot to enjoy these hot spring in the middle of the night at this breathtaking institute. You must book the morning of and online so make sure you know where to get service or have wifi. Highly recommend!
