Big Sur Tours & Trips

Ready to drive California's most scenic stretch of coast? Big Sur runs roughly 90 miles along Highway 1 between Carmel and San Simeon, with dramatic cliffs dropping into the Pacific, redwood forests, and beaches with crashing waves. Bixby Bridge is the iconic photo, McWay Falls drops onto beach, and Pfeiffer Beach sometimes has purple sand. The drive itself is slow, but that's the point.
