Follow this itinerary! We have visited different parts of Big Sur numerous times and these are some of the best highlights of Big Sur that we want to continue going back to.

What should I do with one day in Big Sur?


Although this itinerary is just a quick 1 day snapshot, it is free so you can use it as a guide to make your stay in Big Sur longer by adding to it. Perhaps you want to camp overnight in the woods or hit different highlights and drive back down from where you started your road trip. 

What if I want to spend more time in Big Sur?


There are so many great areas of Big Sur, and you won't be able to fit them all in within a day. We have focused this itinerary around iconic easy activities along the Big Sur coast as we feel it captures the essence of Big Sur and highlights what Big Sur has to offer.  

What are the best areas to visit in Big Sur?

Yes! Big Sur is undeveloped and there is no public transit. Some areas are remote and it would be hard to follow this itinerary without a rental car and there is no ride share platform such as Lyft or Uber in the area. 

Do you need a car in Big Sur?

Big Sur F.A.Q.

This itinerary breaks down everything in one PDF guide. The itinerary adds even more value by planning every detail of a 1 day trip to Big Sur so all you have to do is truly book it, show up and enjoy the trip. We learn a lot on our trips about things that were worth it, things we wish we did, and the optimal route to take if we could do it over. You benefit from those learnings with this itinerary! Our podcast episode of Big Sur, gives you highlights but not to the level of detail you’ll find within our itinerary. 

What's different about your itinerary from your podcast episode?


Very helpful tips. I know my trip to Utah will be even more enjoyable after listening to your podcast.
Thank you!
