About

Andrew Molera State Park is a stunning, underrated gem in Big Sur. It offers beautiful trails, a secluded beach, and great camping. You often have to wade through a river to reach the beach, which is a fun adventure but requires water shoes. It is a must-visit for nature lovers, though parking can be limited and the trails can be steep.
