On our final day in Big Sur, we visited stunning McWay Falls, right off Highway 1 across from Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park. I had seen a few photos online prior, but let me tell you, this place is absolute heaven. It is impossible to take a bad photo here; it really IS that gorgeous. It's not everyday that you get the opportunity to see tide falls (waterfalls that empty directly into the ocean). In fact, there are only two other tide falls in North America, one in Point Reyes, near San Francisco, and the other in Hawaii, so as you can imagine this place is quite unique. There is a short hiking trail, right off the freeway, that leads you to incredible views of McWay Cove, Falls, the rugged coastline and the vibrant cerulean blue Pacific. Even more interesting is that once you reach the trail end, you will find the former site of "The Waterfall House", where Lathrop & Helen Hooper Brown once lived. It's pretty amazing that they got to wake up to these gorgeous views every day.
Our very last stop in Big Sur, was lunch at Nepenthe Restaurant. The restaurant has amazing panoramic views of the coastline, great food, and they make a pretty excellent Bloody Mary as well. I had to try, "The Famous Ambrosia Burger", and it did not disappoint. Lunch was very enjoyable and Nepenthe Restaurant was the perfect end to our Big Sur weekend vacation, the only unfortunate part was that it had to end. We all truly enjoyed the beauty of Big Sur, and could have stayed even longer. Next vacation must be one week minimum!
