Big Sur River Inn

Big Sur is a rugged and mountainous section of the Central Coast of the U.S. state of California, between Carmel Highlands and San Simeon, where the Santa Lucia Mountains rise abruptly from the Pacific Ocean. It is frequently praised for its dramatic scenery. Big Sur has been called the "longest and most scenic stretch of undeveloped coastline in the contiguous United States", a sublime "national treasure that demands extraordinary procedures to protect it from development", and "one of the most beautiful coastlines anywhere in the world, an isolated stretch of road, mythic in reputation". The views, redwood forests, hiking, beaches, and other recreational opportunities have made Big Sur a popular destination for visitors from across the world. With 4.5 to 7 million visitors annually, it is among the top tourist destinations in the United States, comparable to Yosemite National Park, but with considerably fewer services, and less parking, roads, and related infrastructure.

As YOU drive along Highway 1, YOU will be awestruck by the breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and the stunning cliffs that rise up from the water. The road twists and turns along the coast, offering glimpses of hidden beaches, secluded coves, and towering redwood forests.

One of the most iconic landmarks in Big Sur is the Bixby Bridge. This stunning bridge spans across a deep canyon and offers incredible views of the ocean below. It's a popular spot for photos, and YOU won't want to miss the opportunity to capture the beauty of the bridge and the surrounding landscape.
