Not to be confused with Pfeiffer-Burns State Park and waterfall, which is further down the road.
Not part of the Big Sur State Park system, this beach is in the Los Padres National Forest under the jurisdiction of Monterey Ranger District. Fee for parking.
A life changing experience. This beach is beyond amazing, something you would see in a movie. Bring sunglasses (to protect your eyes from the sand) & a hooded sweatshirt and bundle up cause it's windy.
The turn to get on the road there is very sharp, so be careful, and drive slow the road is very narrow.
