This short hike will give you some of the most stunning views in all of Big Sur for the least amount of effort. The 1-mile out-and-back hike leads you to a trail on the cliffs along the coast. At the viewpoint you can see McWay Falls pouring down on the sandy beach below in McWay cove.
Super easy trail and short. Million dollar views, we couldn't take a bad picture.
Bucket List quality view. Must see.

Breath taken beautiful,easy walking in traffic.
McWay Cove and McWay Falls are two of the most beautiful parts of the Big Sur Coast of California. Located along scenic Highway 1, it is worth getting out of your car and taking a look. You will never forget it.
Stunning
The description reads true: This short hike will give you some of the most stunning views in all of Big Sur for the least amount of effort.
The views truly are spectacular, but this isn't a true "hike" at all. The view alone deserves 5 stars, but the "hike" wouldn't merit a rating.
