Reasonably-priced cabins and very cheap drive-in tent sites can be found here. If getting a cabin, ask for one with a fireplace!
The best breakfast place in Big Sur. Great views and pretty good hot breakfast items in addition to bakery items.
The best place in the world to listen to live music. Check to see if a show is playing during your stay in the area. And bring a blanket. Or three.
Amazing architecture and even better views. Yes, the food is expensive but overall is the best value in Big Sur.
Get here via the out-and-back from Julia Pfeiffer State Park in Big Sur or hike the point-to-point. Google around for directions, but here is a link: http://www.summitpost.org/mount-manuel/150770
Drive down the windy dirt road until you get to the state park parking lot, then it’s a short walk to the beach. Check out the purple sand and dramatic vistas http://bit.ly/Zr8zjB
