About
No Instagram photo in the world can do justice to the wild beauty of this California state park. Whether you climb to Buzzard's Gorge, take in the glory of Pfeiffer Falls, or stroll through redwood groves, this central coast hideaway will relax your soul.
Head to the Big Sur River gorge to walk alongside the river under redwood and sycamore trees, communing with raccoons and black-tailed deer. Only 26 miles south of Carmel, this park is an ideal respite if you need a break from golf.
You may need to book months in advance—because this magical park is well known. RVs are welcome, but twisty roads make it tough for the big ones. To escape the crowds, hit the hiking trails or head down to rugged Pfeiffer Beach for tide pooling. (Be warned: there is a separate entrance fee). Pack for ultra-changeable weather—it can change
