r/BigSur

This seems like such a dumb idea. The tourists are hell-bent on taking photos of the bridge. I don’t think anything will stop them, short of law enforcement actively standing there and yelling at people to keep moving. This idea of blocking off the parking will just result in people parking unsafely on the highway and running back and forth.

6 friends roadtripping along the coast for memorial weekend. we have many destinations to cover in Monterey n Big Sur area but looking for recommendations for good stops, food, great views, fun things to do on our drive up from san diego. We start driving after work on friday. We are also hoping to visit a winery. We are assuming the weather will feel cooler than the expected temperatures, shd we pack all jackets and pants?

Any suggestions for medium hiking trails in Big sur? There's a lot of info on the internet but we would rather prefer suggestions off personal experiences ❤️

Thanks in adv!

Has anyone been camping in the last couple weeks? Wondering how bad the ticks are right now. We have reservations in 10 days from now but my daughter is worried about them. Any insight would be great! Thanks!

This was my second trip up to Big Sur and I love the story of Limekiln state park. It's a tale of "It will, no matter how bad it may look now, will get better"

I'm getting back into video production and editing after over a decade long hiatus. I had some audio issues along the way but I'm happy with how it turned out.

My partner and I went the other day and ahead of our trip it was supposed to be blue skies but it was really gloomy on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. We’re eloping in Big Sur mid-May next year and we were planning on it being at around 5-6 pm. Our photographer who is a local to Santa Cruz said that this much gloominess throughout has been unusual for May and that it usually clears up by 3pm. Can I get some more insight from Big Sur locals? Thank you 🙏

Does anyone know if Henry Miller's Partington Ridge home is still standing? Just curious.

Visited bixby bridge on 5/8 and there was a confederate flag, multiple swastikas, and slurs spray painted around the area with the plaque. Would Cal DOT be the place to contact them about covering the vandalism?
