4 days in Big Sur Itinerary

A sparsely populated area with stunning views, Big Sur attracts artists and tourists traveling California’s scenic Highway 1.

Kids will appreciate attractions like Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park and McWay Falls. Visit Pfeiffer State Beach and Piedras Blancas for some beach relaxation. Venture out of the city with trips to Friends of the Elephant Seal Visitor Center and Gift Shop (in San Simeon) and Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park (in Felton). The adventure continues: stroll through Partington Cove and get great views at Ragged Point.
