Big Sur Travel Guide
The most dramatic 90 miles of coastline on earth
Big Sur is not a town — it's a state of mind and 90 miles of the most breathtaking coastline on the planet. The Santa Lucia Mountains plunge straight into the Pacific, creating a landscape of such raw beauty that painters, writers, and poets have sought it for a century. Henry Miller lived here. Robinson Jeffers wrote about it. Jack Kerouac tried to escape himself here. Drive Highway 1 slowly, stop at McWay Falls, hike the Ventana Wilderness, and eat at Nepenthe above the clouds.
