Route 1 - Big Sur Coast Highway
Big Sur, CA
The Big Sur area encompasses more than just a town. It includes miles of beatiful coastline, craggy mountain ranges, and scenic valleys. Much different than the warm sunny beaches of southern California, beaches in Big Sur are chilly even during the day, often draped in fog or rain.
Bring jackets and blankets for romantic evenings on the beach, when the views are magical and the temperature drops. Watch for Blue, Gray, and Humpback Whales in the distance, and see Elephant Seals, Califonia Condors, Sea Otters, and Mountain Lions all enjoying the ecosystems of the Big Sur area as much as the travelers.
