Pfeiffer Beach

Big Sur

Purple sand and a natural stone arch make this tucked-away Big Sur beach worth the winding drive down. Scramble between rock formations, dig for violet garnet grains, and watch waves crash through Keyhole Rock.

Scenic coastline
Unique geology
Limited parking
Windy conditions

Tips
