Big Sur is a great place.
Big Sur is a great place. Unfortunately because of environmental circumstances, (mud slides and bridge damage)it is very limited in its
Tourist attractions. It's a great place for hiking, coffee houses and libraries with occasional music. Also beautiful beaches and coast line. Once these repairs are done, it will be a great place again.

Highway 1 is currently being fixed (due to winter storms)...
Highway 1 is currently being fixed (due to winter storms) and there are some places which are closed. Everything north of Pfeiffer is open except the Sea Otter refuge which was closed as well. If you want something to eat, Glen Oaks has a very good breakfast and lunch and there is a cafe near the gas station, just south of Glen Oaks . Fernwood is open for dinner but I did not try their breakfast or lunch. River Inn has dinner available and each business is not far from one another. If you are solo, there are some campsites within the area and hiking trails within a mile of Highway 1.

I've heard so many things over the year about Big Sur.
I've heard so many things over the year about Big Sur. IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Even though the Pacific Coast Highway is temporarily closed south of Pfeiffer State Beach, we spent an entire day driving up and down the PCH from Carmel to the road closure. We enjoyed guided tours at Point Lobos and even did the moonlight tour at Point Sur Lighthouse, which was really, really cool and very informative. You need to look up the times as the tours are not every day. We loved stopping at the road pull-offs to look at the amazing views of the ocean and coast. We had a lovely lunch at the Big Sur Roadhouse, where the manager/staff were extremely friendly. Get the pulled pork sandwich! Garrapata Beach was also great. The waves are huge and wild. We played on the rocks, waded in the tide pools, enjoyed the wild calla lillies, and even witnessed a proposal on the beach! Not many services south of Carmel, so check your gas tank, bring water, and have a plan for meals.

Big Sur is an amazing mash up of shore, mountains,...
Big Sur is an amazing mash up of shore, mountains, waterfalls and forest. Thank goodness Hwy 1 has lots of pull overs, because the view constantly amazes. Many great hikes, tho on our trip access was affected by rock/mudslides. Very rural, but if you want a night out you're not far from Carmel and Monterey where the prices are better than I expected.

My trip was far too short, but I stayed at the Big Sur River...
My trip was far too short, but I stayed at the Big Sur River Inn which was absolutely perfect. I ate at the motels restaurant and the pub right next to it, both meals were amazing! I didn't get to do too much but the drive was beautiful and I can't wait to go back.
“Lovvvvvvved the hot tub and the deck! Perfect way to destress!! The number of beautiful things to explore nearby - Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, Pfeiffer Beach, Sea Otter Refuge, Lighthouse and more - make this #1 in my book! Even the general store where you can buy blankets, soap, firewood and ice cream is great, literally a stone's throw away.”
“This is my favorite hotel in the world!
Rooms are spacious, pure luxury yet cozy. Wonderful views of the hills. Favorite feature: the spectacular one mile walk through the forest, part of which is the path to the restaurant.
We love the pools, great for lap swimming. The property is clean, the staff are genuine and delightful!!
Two nights felt like a week's vacation, given the tranquility and peacefulness. Wish we booked more nights, one could stay here a very long time!!”
“Everything about the Ventana is beautiful! The setting is a perfect place to unwind after a long day of hiking! The breakfast on the terrace overlooking the coast is unbelievable!”
“It was a great Big Sur experience. It's a small inn with cabin-like rooms and a wonderful restaurant. It's well cared for, comfortable and charming. We felt like we'd found a real treasure.”
