    Big Sur is a place we visit, at least, once a year.

    Big Sur is a place we visit, at least, once a year. There are so many wonderful places to stop and hike. This was my first time going to Point Lobos. It is now my favorite place in Big Sur. I entered the park a few minutes after 8am for my daily run. Luckily, there were very few people, so I could navigate the trails easily. I have never seen such beauty. So much wildlife in the park. Two hours in the park went by so fast. I will definitely be back.

    Unexpected real pleasure and recommend not to be missed.

    Unexpected real pleasure and recommend not to be missed. Give yourself a couple of hours even if you are there to 'look'. Great short walks give some wonderful panorama's of the coast both north and south.

    Lots of beautiful easy short hikes.

    Lots of beautiful easy short hikes. If you park on the bay and walk in you don’t have to pay Park fees. Also be sure to check or ask rangers about trail closures . Great volunteers leading hikes and explaining nature and the animals.
