Despite being only 1/2 a mile each way, this scenic trail still features one of the best views of Big Sur. You will head from the parking lot straight to the coastal cliffs overlooking the ocean. There is an observation deck that gazes over the picturesque McWay Cove and waterfall, one of the only tidefalls in California to empty into the Pacific Ocean.
