The McWay Falls, California
An 80-ft plummet straight into the Pacific Ocean, McWay Falls in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park must be on the list if you are passing across the Big Sur area. Visit as a quick pit stop off Highway 1, taking the short and easy hike to the beautiful falls, or opt for one of the longer linked hiking trails for rewarding views of the California coast. Photography and nature lovers will especially enjoy it.
