Learn more about Big Sur
Winding along the Pacific Coast Highway, you'll find yourself caught between mountains and sea in a landscape that defies belief. Bixby Bridge arches dramatically over a coastal canyon, providing the perfect photo opportunity. At Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, witness McWay Falls tumbling directly onto the beach below. Pfeiffer Beach rewards visitors with purple-tinged sand and massive rock formations with wave-carved keyholes. Los Padres National Forest offers hiking trails through ancient redwood groves where sunlight filters through in cathedral-like beams. Accommodations fill quickly, so book well ahead. Local tip: bring provisions as services are scarce along this magnificent stretch of coastline.

"Awesome property with views to die for. Very quiet and the rooms were nicely appointed. Only thing is food is either 30 mins North or 40 mins south. Luckily, there is a taco truck across the street that is delicious! Definitely 10/10. We would definitely return again! Thank you Lucia Lodge! 😊"
