A Coastal Forest

Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park is Located just south of the small town of Big Sur, Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park offers an opportunity to explore a coastal redwood forest. Hiking trails penetrate the forest and provide a chance to get up close to this coastal environment, hike, enjoy views, and even see a waterfall. Picnic areas, a lodge, and cabins are available within the park. The park’s entrance is off the east side of Highway One.

Dogs are only allowed on the paved areas and not on the trails.
