Having been the beneficiary of a Golden Eagle Pass since I turned 62, I have enjoyed many national parks and federal areas with no entrance fee, seeing it as a return on 60 years of paying income tax. I agree with Dan, that the privatization of these public lands is outrageous. At Yosemite, at least, you can enter the park, even though it is now being managed by a private contractor. That said, the beach is spectacular. My youngest stepdaughter will be married there soon.
This place really captures what Big Sur is...a dramatic meeting of land and sea. Just a beautiful, majestic, rocky coastline where you can see some downright unbelievable sunsets. Would highly recommend for couples.
我是傍晚时到达这片沙滩的,石头非常多,而且很多巨石被海风磨砺成奇怪的形状。风比较大,夏季的傍晚时也很冷。即使太阳快下山,海的颜色也很不错
This was one of our very favorite places on our drive down Hwy 1 from Fort Bragg to Pismo Beach! Is it hard to find? YES! The road to it is NOT labeled. Make sure you know where you are going. We drove right past it. Fortunately, we hadn't gone far before I realized we missed it. So thankful that we turned around!$10 per car to get in, but worth every penny! We will be back and we will spend a good portion of the day here. Would make a great location for a photo shoot! Especially if you like the wind blowing your hair look! It is very windy here, so be prepared with jackets, etc... I wish I had brought my kite! Purple sand...amazing.Surreal views...absolutely.There are tons of great reviews on here, so I won't bog you down with more details, but this is WORTH THE TIME, MONEY AND EFFORT!
the beach is not that easy to find, it is not signposted from highway one and it is down a narrow road with passing places. That said it is so worth a visit with gorgeous offshore rock formations, beautiful purple coloured sand and an enchanted forest of pebble cairns. Sadly we were not staying in the vicinity so could not stay that long but I would come back and stay somewhere closer just to do it justice.
We had a bit of trouble finding this beach, but it was worth the trouble. We brought our dog Gary and had a fantastic long walk along the beach and enjoying the view and the purple sand.
This is a beautiful beach with a unique giant rock formation. It can get crowded, but it's worth checking out at sunset. You might be lucky enough to catch the sun bursting through a doorway-sized hole in the cliffs.
Another beautiful CA beach. They are just so different from the East Coast. Cliffs, a waterfall, beautiful water, tidal pools to explore and purple sand! What's not to love?!
As I drove up the Pacific Coast, I spoke with other people more familiar with the area. One photographer told me to find the path down to the beach in Pfeiffer State Park, which is a steep, unmarked road that you have to be looking for. Once you're at the beach, you will find yourself walking along a remarkably beautiful inlet dotted with coves and great rocks with waves crashing through them. The landscape is now close enough to touch, with the cliffs rising high right behind you. There were other people there, but not many. It was a lovely discovery.
Beautiful beach. Worth the hike to get to it. The view is great, you can sit as long as you want and listen to the waves crash into the shore. My wife collected a lot of cool rocks that were smoothed by the water as I relaxed and listened to the power of the ocean. I don't relax often or write this dramatically easily. This beach was beautiful and well worth finding.
