What people say

Rhonda Glisson
"You get to this gorgeous 80ft waterfall by taking Waterfall Overlook Trail at Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park. It's a short, easy walk to the overlook. It's located in Big Sur in Monterey County. The view of the waterfall along with this magnificent coast is just stunning. "
Chelsea Papa
"This iconic sight is a must see on any trip to Big Sur. It’s stunning at sunset and also around midday when the high sun brings out the saturated blues and greens of the ocean. There’s never a bad time to visit! Park in the paid lot or for free along the road. "
Traveler Surf Club
"Another iconic Big Sur photo-op. This beautiful waterfall spills down onto the beach below. You can't access the beach itself, but there is a short trail that will take you to a view point above."
