Andrew Molera St Park, Camping & Hiking, Big Sur, California
A trip to Andrew Molera state park in Big Sur, California. Enjoy a hike into the overnight campground and then take the 8 mile (7.76 mi) hike up the ridge and a great view of the ocean and inland valley. Take the River Trail out of the parking lot, up the Hidden Trail, follow the Ridge trail to the peak and then follow the Bluffs Trail back to the beach and parking lot. Enjoy a stay at the hike in campground with firepits, tables and facilities (though no showers, but hey, its 'camping').
The state park sits approximately 26 miles south of Monterey, California, USA, though allow at least an hour to drive down the 2 lane highway, and enjoy a stop in Carmel by the Sea as a nice side trip.
If you plan to camp, try and arrive early in the day as the walk in camp sites are limited and closely monitored, but well worth the planning if you like a simple hike in campground away from the crowds. Wood is available for purchase from the gate agent. A tent is recommended due to the ocean moisture. Make sure to use the food cabinets as the squirrels are very aggressive and will climb on your picnic table to eat anything left out, even your tent is not safe for food storage.
A hike through Andrew Molera is a nice trip off the main beaten path, enjoy it!

Beautiful Trail Hiking: Big Sur State Park (Unreal Views!)
Weekend trip through Big Sur Andrew Molera and Limekiln State Park on 8/3/18 - 8/5/18. Crazy beautiful Highway 1 in California does not disappoint with views around every corner. Hiked Mcway falls in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park Cruikshank trail near Limekiln (one of the best unknown hikes ive ever done) and Bluff trail near Big Sur. A place I am hopeful to return to and camp at some point.

Marvelous Swim in Andrew Molera State Park, Big Sur CA
Marvelous Swim in Andrew Molera State Park, Big Sur CA
A great place to swim & surf. At Big Sur, you not only get the majestic beauty of land and ocean meet, but at this park you can swim in the salt water and then walk over to swim in the lagoon fresh water . It is a little cold when you first step in, but just dip right in then you no longer feel the cold unless you stay in for too long. What best about it, is that it felt heavenly after the swim. It was wonderful!
