The Santa Lucia Mountains extend between 3 to 12 miles (5 to 19 km) inland, and some consider the Big Sur eastern border to be at the foothills of the Santa Lucia Mountains. The Big Sur region stretches much further inland than most visitors cruising along the coastline would imagine. Just always check ahead of time if there are any road closures as there is no detour available.īig Sur has several state parks and reserves, as well as several areas that are federal land, and are therefore protected and not very developed apart from small residential communities. This drive is by no means dangerous though. We had to drive back up due to a road closure caused by a landslide. We managed to drive from Monterey to McMay Falls and back up to Monterey in approximately 10 hours with countless stops and a few short hikes. Book your room well in advance as there is limited availability in Big Sur. However, if you would like to go on some hikes, we would advise you to spend a night in one of the great hotels / B&Bs / campsites. The drive along the Big Sur coastline can easily be done in one day.
