About Big Sur

Big Sur is a legendary stretch of the central California coast where the Santa Lucia Mountains drop steeply into the Pacific Ocean. The region is most often experienced along Highway 1, a scenic road that winds for more than 70 miles between Carmel and San Simeon and is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful coastal drives in the world.

Cliffside pullouts, state parks, and overlooks reveal views of rocky headlands, hidden coves, redwood canyons, and long Pacific horizons. Landmarks such as Bixby Bridge, Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, and Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park have made the area a favorite for photographers, road trippers, and travelers from around the world.
