The Whale Watchers Cafe is at the Gorda Springs Resort, one of the most popular whale watching vistas in Big Sur. Gorda Springs is on the southern edge of Big Sur, 15 miles north of Hearst Castle; 70 miles south of Carmel. The Resort is a town...with cottages, a general store, and its own gas station. The cafe is open everyday, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Guests are welcome to enjoy a meal inside or on the outdoor patio. With a full menu, Whale Watchers Cafe is something for everyone: salads, hot home-made soups, great sandwiches, thick burgers, and delightful dinners of fish, chicken, or beef. Six beers on tap, the cafe also features domestics and international wines.
