We stayed in the Big Sur/Monterey area for an extra day because this place is great! We hiked at McWay Falls and Big Sur and enjoyed all the scenery to be had on the way to and from both on Highway 1. Unfortunately, the trail we wanted to do at Big Sur was closed, but the alternate trail we took provided some good exercise due to the uphill climb so we’re considering that a positive. To cap off our day we visited Andrew Molera State Park and the beach there was beautiful! We stood in the water where the Big Sur River meets the ocean and watched huge waves crash against Molera Point.
Off to bed in Watsonville for kayaking at Elkhorn Slough in the morning!
