Big Sur has several outstanding wild beaches, but visitors should expect to hike to reach most of them.
Hiking and biking trails lace through the 4800 acres of Andrew Molera State Park, which features the Big Sur River. Bobcat Trail is an easy 3-mile hike that passes the Cooper Cabin, Big Sur's oldest structure, and ends at a pleasant, sandy beach. State park admission fees include parking; there are no facilities at the beach, but restrooms are available at the parking lot.
Pfeiffer Beach is one of Monterey County's handsomest beaches, located within the Los Padres National Forest, off Highway One on Sycamore Canyon Road. After almost a year of renovations, visitors can now enjoy many improvements, including handicapped access to the beach, increased parking, and new restrooms.
