Big Sur Weekend

1. Glen Oaks Big Sur
This place made me fall in love with heated faux-stone bathroom floors.
Quaint, comfortable, beautiful but simple in its design.
If you plan on spending your days horseback riding on the beach and lounging at the spa, and your nights immersed in…More »
2. Sierra Mar

the scallops were a perfect second.

3. Big Sur Bakery & Restaurant

7. Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park
gorgeous views. wish that house was still there (and i lived in it).
8. Deetjen's Restaurant
still a delicious breakfast. on a sunny day, eating outside on the deck under the flowers is a great way to wake up. as for food? the eggs benedict is still amazing and the blueberry pancakes and bacon is still a guilty pleasure.

On the morning after you were hitting the hot springs at 1 AM, go to Big Sur Bakery.

9. Partington Cove
After reading the other reviews, i realized how luck we were to find this place on an empty weekend in Big Sur (Hwy 1 closed north and south).
We were the only ones there and felt like we had the whole ocean to ourselves.
Well, we did have to share it…More »
