McWay Falls at Big Sur, California.

Introduction:

McWay Falls is an incredibly scenic waterfall. McWay Creek drops 84 ft. off a cliff onto the beach nestled in a pretty little cove. The overlook view of the cove where the waterfall drops, is stunning to say the least. Unfortunately, you cannot get down onto the scenic beach (legally), as the cliffs are too crumbly and dangerous to descend (and if you try it, be prepared to receive a very hefty fine).

Visitors Rewiew:

It is one of the most stunning beach, rocks and falls you will ever see. How many waterfalls do you see falling into the ocean. It is pretty much the only thing to see at this stop and you can't get very close to the beach or the falls. Still worth the stop.
