Best of Monterey Bay® Visitors Guide

Your visit means a lot to us, especially those of us who live, work and own businesses in Big Sur. Make sure you check out the less crowded scenic pullouts as you head to Big Sur Valley. Treat yourself at our shops and restaurants. And most of all, don’t forget to take it slow, smell the ocean air, and take in the beauty and wonder of this special place. That is what Big Sur is about. And there is one more thing you should do before you head down the road. Take and activate the Big Sur Pledge by: • Sharing our coastal roads in a safe manner. • Being mindful of the impact of your actions. • Protecting and respecting Big Sur’s natural resources, public and private property, residents, employees, and visitors. • Leaving no trace and not damaging or take what is not yours. • Camping only where allowed. • Being vigilant and fire safe. • Being a steward of this precious resource for the enjoyment of all. • And honoring the spirit of Big Sur as it honors you. “Our community can design innovative solutions to ensure that tourism benefits businesses, visitors, residents and our fragile coastline.” Butch Kronlund, ED, Community Association of Big Sur The challenge is not to stop tourism.
