The kids will sleep soundly after frolicking by the water at Pfeiffer Beach. Look for washed up treasures, stick a toe in the water or throw a Frisbee around!

You'll have sightseeing choices galore when visiting Big Sur. Pfeiffer Beach is a good place to begin here, but there are loads of other interesting spots to explore. Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, Andrew Molera State Park, and Big Sur Discovery Center are near the stretch of coastline and will top off your day nicely.
