Welcome to Big Sur
Historically, the name Big
Sur, was derived from that
unexplored and unmapped
wilderness area which lays
along
the coast south of Monterey.
It was simply called El Sur
Grande,
The Big South. Today, Big
Sur refers to that 90-mile
stretch of
rugged and awesomely
beautiful coastline between
Carmel to the north and San
Simeon (Hearst Castle) to
the south. Highway One winds
along its length and is
flanked on one side by the
majestic Santa Lucia
Mountains and on the other
by the rocky Pacific Coast.
From Big Sur luxury hotels
and spas to rustic
creekside campgrounds Big
Sur simply offers The Best

possibilities and we think
