Places to stay in Big Sur, California
Big Sur is a sparsely populated region of the central California coast where the Santa Lucia Mountains rise abruptly from the Pacific Ocean. The name "Big Sur" is derived from the original Spanish-language "el sur grande", meaning "the big south", or from "el país grande del sur", "the big country of the south". The terrain offers stunning views, making Big Sur a popular tourist destination. Big Sur's Cone Peak is the highest coastal mountain in the contiguous 48 states, ascending nearly a mile above sea level, only three miles from the ocean.
If you are travelling in the area, Big Sur is located close to Church Creek Divide, Strawberry Camp, Clover Basin Camp, Weyland Camp and Cachagua Creek.
