Big Sur is definitely one of the most gorgeous drives in the world. It is absolutely unique with majestic mountains on one side and the beautiful Pacific Ocean on the other side. Every turn makes your jaw drop, and this is one place that never gets boring, no matter how many times you have been there. Just keep driving south on HWY1 beyond Monterey and Carmel and be prepared to be amazed.
We did a short hike that ended in a secluded beach area where you could sit on the rocks and have the mist cool you on a hot summer day.
Tips: There is a great restaurant called Cafe Kevah in Nepenthe in Big Sur. It has the most amazing views. Along with regular restaurant seating, there is patio seating with ocean views and also a fireplace in front, around which there is more seating. The food and drinks are really good.

We went back during the July 4th holiday last year that happened to be mid-week forcing us to stay local. I appreciate living in the bay area and realize how lucky we are to have such beautiful getaways right next to us. A single day can feel like a mini vacation!
We were probably vising Big Sur for the first time in July, and were pleasantly surprised to see colorful flowers blanketing the never ending slopes.
