Description
At the convergence of the Big Sur River and the Pacific Ocean, Andrew Molera State Park is a sprawling wilderness of mountains and windswept slopes. With 7.5 square miles of wilderness, 20 trails, and 24 walk-in campsites, Molera State Park is a beautiful glimpse of coastal California. The 3,701-foot peak of Pico Blanco's white gray marble juts out of the horizon over Big Sur offering breathtaking views. Or, find yourself on the beach next to the water where birds gather on sandbars and storm-polished driftwood finds land on the beach. Get lost in spectacular views of sweeping meadows and grasslands of this beautiful coastal escape.
