The Dramatic Coastline of Big Sur

Big Sur is among California's most picturesque locations, and it's easy to understand why. There are endless coastal views, seaside cliffs, renowned misty coastlines, and even a waterfall that flows right into the Pacific Ocean (one of only two in California).

Big Sur is a breathtakingly beautiful getaway from the rest of the world that revitalizes the soul. The wild surroundings and magnificent ocean views are truly breathtaking. This 90-mile-long mountainous area of the Northern California coastline feels cut off from civilization and is only accessible by a stunning mountainous stretch of Highway One. Big Sur's most attractive feature is its breathtaking natural setting. The Big Sur coastline rises 1,200 feet above the Pacific's turquoise waters and is covered in lush redwood forests. No cell service and little development are present. Despite its remote location, Big Sur offers many attractions, including opulent hotels and resorts, fine dining establishments, upscale spa resorts, and rustic-chic inns and campsites.
