Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park

"Beautiful views! We loved our visit, but were disappointed that the trail was closed partially. The area is well maintained aside from this though. Definitely worth a trip."

"Recently visited during a rainy day, the waves were significantly higher than usual, but the sea otters didn’t seem to mind. Beautiful hike, fairly steep and wet so be sure to wear good shoes and wear a rain jacket as rain is inevitable and so is the moisture from the waves."

"Very short walk from the parking lot (entrance closes after sunset). Stunning views along the coast."

"We were here to check out the Mc way falls trail. It was a short walk to the point. There were breathtaking sunset views and a waterfall if you look down. Suitable for Senior citizens. There is a short staircase at the start of the trail , so might not be wheelchair friendly . Theres a tunnel on the way that opens up to beautiful views. Definitely a place to checkout !! Clean restrooms at the start of the park. There was limited parking."

"State of California is filled with many beautiful state parks located on Hwy 1 coast. Julia Pfeiffer Burns would sit on the top of the list. First and foremost, the drive along the coast is filled with coastal beauty and breathtaking views! Visitors wanting to stop every few yards to immerse in the nature and explore picture perfect spots. Parking is available with self pay and they renovated restrooms, picnic area beautifully. Only disappointment is trails are not opened after recent years of natural disasters. Short trail takes one through a tunnell under highway, opens up to watch the stunning views of the cove and McWay falls. Amazing shades of blue pleasing the eyes. There is a hidden campsite on the cliff above the falls accomodating only two tents. Very private! Cliff area is blocked so there is no beach access. Visited so many times, never get tired, it's pure delight. It's located pretty close to Lucia after Big Sur on Hwy1 south."
