Big Sur, California Photo Gallery

Location: Big Sur, CA [and Limekiln State Park] // Google Maps

Tanya and I made our yearly [and sometimes multi-year] trip up north to Big Sur in California, a coastline region of big cliffs and small roads. It turned out to be a great time to go up there as everything was in bloom and it wasn't too overly packed with tourists. We went camping up in Limekiln State Park which is a beach and redwood area right off one of the cliff bridges. We had a beach campground which was fantastic and saw a nice fog sunset complete with gulls and roaring waves. If you're yet to go to Big Sur, its a fantastic drive and always a great time.  We're starting to shoot more Big Sur Weddings up there too, so maybe some day we can make the move.  It's that nice!

Big Sur is a thinly-settled region of the central California coast where the Santa Lucia Mountains rise abruptly from the Pacific Ocean. This geology produces stunning views and has become a magnet for global tourism. Big Sur's Cone Peak is the highest coastal mountain in the lower 48 states, ascending nearly a mile (5,155 feet/1.6km) above sea level, only 3 miles (4.8 km) from the ocean.[1] Although Big Sur has no specific boundaries, many definitions of the area include the 90 miles (145km) of coastline between the Carmel River and San Carpoforo Creek, and extend about 20 miles (32km) inland to the eastern foothills of the Santa Lucias, while other sources limit the eastern border to the coastal flanks of these mountains, only 3 to 12 miles (4.8-19km) inland. The northern end of Big Sur is about 120 miles (193km) south of San Francisco, and the southern end is approximately 245 miles (394km) north of Los Angeles.
