It's free to cruise Highway 1 in Big Sur to see spots like the Bixby Canyon Bridge, but there is an entrance fee for most state parks in Big Sur, including Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, Andrew Molera State Park, and Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park. Fees are generally charged per vehicle and vary by activity and time of year.
