Embedded Files
This site is a spectacular Big Sur coast location--although all of the pretty wedding venue sites (i.e., the ones overlooking the ocean) require a hike of about 25-30 minutes. If you're up for that long of an easy walk, it's a great place to escape the crowds. And you get the quintessential Big Sur vibe--crashing waves, indescribable views of the ocean and the mountains are behind you.
We're happy to hike this with you but remember that our elopement package fees for this location will reflect the extra time spent by our wedding professionals. The walk may be well worth it, however. The further out we go, the less people there are about!
Please note: During the off season, seasonal footbridges will not be in place. You and your party may need to do a river crossing to access some areas of the park at your own risk.

This is Big Sur when you think of Big Sur.
