The beautiful stretch of California coast that makes up the Big Sur region is a gorgeous part of America at any time of year, but visitors to Big Sur around Easter time will find pleasant, mild weather, views of both the Santa Lucia Mountains and the vast Pacific Ocean, and a charming region full of lovely state parks perfect for hiking and other outdoor activities.

On Easter Sunday, visitors can enjoy a fabulous brunch at Big Sur River Inn Restaurant, complete with their famous Bloody Marys, as well as an annual Easter Egg Hunt for the kids. Surrounding areas and businesses also feature a wide array of activity that weekend, including visits from the Easter Bunny, buffets, and live music.

Big Sur is 2.5 hours from San Francisco.
