It is bordered by the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Lucia Mountains. It is traversed by the two-lane State Route 1, which is famous for its narrow curves and seaside cliffs. There are several state parks and attractions in the area, as well as a national park and several other state parks. If you&#8217;re planning to visit, make sure you plan ahead so you can enjoy the best of the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For hiking lovers, Garrapata State Park is a must-see. The exposed promontory contains several trails that climb high above the ocean. The park also extends several miles south, with a stunning beach. The park is free to visit, and there are 12 roadside parking lots for visitors. The park is a perfect destination for families, as it offers a variety of activities. You&#8217;ll have no problem finding a parking spot, though, as there are no fees to enter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another must-see stop on the Big Sur Coast is the winery in Carmel. This local institution draws visitors and locals alike to try their wine. The wines are excellent, and the prices are more expensive than those of most restaurants, but they are a must-visit for those looking for a romantic dinner. A bottle of wine is a great way to mark the end of a romantic evening. A romantic date at the Big Sur Winery will be an unforgettable experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in history, Big Sur is the place for you.
