Big Sur
Big Sur is a sparsely populated region of the Central Coast of California where the Santa Lucia Mountains rise abruptly from the Pacific Ocean.
The name "Big Sur" is derived from the original Spanish-language "el
sur grande", meaning "the big south", or from "el país grande del sur",
"the big country of the south", referring to its location south of the Monterey Peninsula.
The terrain offers stunning views, making Big Sur a popular tourist
destination. Big Sur's Cone Peak is the highest coastal mountain in the
contiguous 48 states, ascending nearly a mile (5,155 feet/1571 m) above
sea level, only three miles (4.8 km) from the ocean.
