BIG SUR

Big Sur businesses are currently open and accessible from the north and south via Highway 1.

Big Sur is a majestic stretch of land located off the famous Pacific Coast Highway. Bordered by the Santa Lucia Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, Big Sur offers unmatched scenic beauty and an eclectic vibe you can't find anywhere else. The area is famous for it's breathtaking coastline, towering redwoods and epic hiking trails, as well as its world-class hotels, inns, boutique shops, restaurants, and its parks.

While a portion of Highway 1 was recently impacted, Big Sur businesses are currently open and accessible from the north and south via Highway 1. Highway 1 is anticipated to fully reopen by early summer 2021. Check back for updates.

Help us preserve the beauty of Big Sur for all to see and enjoy. Please, follow all posted signage, stay on designated trails and leave no trace behind.
