Local Attractions

POINT SUR LIGHT STATION

Park
10 mi. away
The Point Sur Light Station was built in 1889 to provide warning to ships navigating the Big Sur coast. The lighthouse rises 270 feet above a volcanic rock located at the mouth of the Little Sur River. During the 1960s, the U.S. Coast Guard began automating lighthouses. Just a short time later, in 1974, the last keeper left the Point Sur Light Station.

PFEIFFER BEACH

Park
1 mi. away
Pfeiffer Beach is one of the most picturesque and most easily accessible beaches in Big Sur. Just one mile away from Ventana, it’s the perfect spur-of-the-moment sunset experience. The stretch of purple sand is partly shielded from the ocean by rocks and sea stacks. A cave through one of the largest rock formations offers a spectacular way to see the golden reflection of sunset light in contrast with the blue Pacific Ocean. Pfeiffer Beach is part of Los Padres National Forest.

HENRY MILLER LIBRARY

Shopping
1 mi. away
Fleeing war-ridden France, Henry Miller arrived in Big Sur in 1944 and moved into a home on Partington Ridge. It was there that he wrote many books that were responsible for attracting a whole generation of Beatnik writers and poets to the area. Built in 1966 as an homage to Miller by his personal secretary, Emil White, the library does not actually lend books. Rather, it stores and sells Miller’s writings as well as other local writers’ books. “Why is it called a library if it doesn’t lend books?” It’s a great question to ask the library’s friendly staff. The library also serves as a community center, art gallery and outdoor venue for a remarkable array of performances, lectures and concerts — many of which take place in the summer. If you want to tap into some Big Sur culture, inquire about the current events. The library’s annual short film festival, held each summer, is also not to be missed.
