Hidden Big Sur Trail 🌊✨
Here’s how to hike to Andrew Molera Beach using the main trail, totally worth it, not to mention is super kid/family friendly!
Trail directions:
🅿️ Park at Andrew Molera State Park off Highway 1 (small parking lot by the entrance) or up top if there’s FREE parking in the side of Highway 1!
• Pay the day-use fee at the kiosk
• Start on the Creamery Meadow Trail, it begins right by the parking area
• Cross the seasonal footbridge (or wade across the river if it’s down!)
• Follow the path through the open meadow for about 1 mile
• You’ll hear the waves before you see them, keep going until the trail opens to the wide sandy beach
• Bring water, sandals for the river, and enjoy this quiet, local-favorite Big Sur spot
📌 Save this for your next Big Sur trip!
