Note:  Big rocks can fall very fast from other people climbing up or down the rope.  If you are below other people, be aware of big rocks falling.

Hike down to Jade Cove
Would not do this again. The cove itself is cool, but the small hike down is slippery with sandy rocks and pebbles. Watch out as other people can accidentally kick big rocks down at you.
Always practice Leave No Trace ethics on your adventures and follow local regulations. Please explore responsibly!
Head into Big Sur and get a campsite at Plaskett Creek. You can either make a reservation through recreation.gov or show up and hope to luck out on one of the first-come, first-serve campsites. The campground is much more crowded during the prime summer months, so if you want to get better surf and a more isolated campsite, head there in the fall or winter. Plaskett Creek is really close to S...
Explore San Carpoforo Creek
Just south of Ragged Point, San Carpoforo Creek is an open beach that is fun to explore. There is a quick hike from the highway to the beach.  During heavy rain years, the creek will be flowing deeper, so you might need to do some swimming. There are waves occasionally here with a couple of surfers. The conditions are fickle and it isn’t the easiest place to check so it limits the crowd.  This ...

Camp Out in the Human Nest
Located about 40 miles south of the entrance to Big Sur, Treebones Resort has everything you need for that weekend away from the screens we look at everyday. To get there, drive south on HWY 1 from Carmel. It takes about 1 hour, but the drive is exquisite the whole way down. If you watch the water below, you'll likely see humpback whale spouts not far from the cliff you are driving on.When you ...
Camp on Prewitt Ridge
After much time in Big Sur, it became quickly apparent that Prewitt Ridge is the crown jewel of camping in the area. It has even been described as "the most beautiful car camping spot on god's green earth" and that doesn't do it justice.While Prewitt Ridge is an officially designated campground in the Los Padres National Forest, it's "dispersed camping," meaning there's no reservations, no toil...
Willow Creek is a couple of miles south of Sand Dollar Beach. Sand Dollar is generally a mushier wave that is more welcoming. Willow Creek on the other hand, has more power and offers punchier waves for the more experienced. However, it is more fickle than Sand Dollar Beach. There are loads of kelp in the line up, so try not to get too tangled!
