Offering a truly desirable coastal setting and bounded by no less than three important state parks, Big Sur is the perfect place to come, if you wish to get back to nature. Some three million tourists arrive in Big Sur every year, to travel around the Santa Lucia Mountains, to discover the sandy beaches, and to enjoy recreational activities in areas of virtual wilderness.The Andrew Molera State Park lies just a few miles to the north and offers calm hiking trails, which eventually lead towards a particularly gorgeous beachfront. To the south, the Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park is particularly close and offers the eventual redwood experience, being home to the beautiful Pfeiffer Falls, an attractive rugged beachfront.
