Big Sur is a rugged section of California’s Pacific coast known for its stunning natural beauty and isolated feel. The area is traveled by State Route 1, which is a narrow and windy yet incredibly beautiful drive. The views include seaside cliffs and the misty oceanfront. Along the way you’ll find a number of state parks, which are perfect for further exploring the outdoors by hiking, camping, and enjoying the many beaches. February is a great time to visit as the weather is pleasant and you might just be lucky enough to spot a gray whale as they migrate down the coastline from December to February. Big Sur Map
