McWay Falls in Big Sur

McWay Falls is a stunning 80-foot waterfall that cascades onto a pristine beach cove in Big Sur, California. It is a popular tourist attraction due to its unique and picturesque location, as well as its historical significance. The cove was once the site of a mansion owned by a wealthy businessman and politician named William Randolph Hearst, who used the property as a vacation home. The waterfall was originally used to supply the mansion with water, but it has since become a natural wonder and one of the most photographed locations on the California coast. Today, visitors can access McWay Falls via a short trail in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park and enjoy breathtaking views of the waterfall and coastline.
