Discover the iconic California coast at its most magnificent along Big Sur, where dramatic cliffs meet the thundering Pacific Ocean. This untamed stretch of coastline features the serpentine Highway 1, leading adventurers past two of the region's most photographed landmarks: the architectural marvel of Bixby Creek Bridge and the cascading waters of McWay Falls within Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park. Nature enthusiasts can explore the rugged trails of the Ventana Wilderness or wander through the towering forests of Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park. For those seeking culinary experiences, clifftop restaurants offer breathtaking ocean vistas alongside local cuisine. The area's rustic accommodations, from cozy cabins to luxurious yurts, are often nestled along the tranquil Big Sur River. With traditional camping spots regularly booked several months ahead, Big Sur glamping has emerged as a sought-after alternative. Given the region's immense popularity, securing any type of lodging can be challenging - consider expanding your search to include glamping options in nearby Carmel by the Sea to the north or the secluded community of Gorda to the south.
