Great Big Canvas will show you why the stunning views of Big Sur make it a major West Coast tourist attraction. Located along the coast of central California, Big Sur covers ninety miles of coastline set between the San Francisco Bay and Los Angeles and extends twenty miles inland to the Santa Lucias foothills. Only three miles inland from the Pacific coast, Big Sur's Cone Peak stretches almost a mile high and is one of the highest coastal mountains in the United States.
With no clearly defined borders, Big Sur is easily accessible from major cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Monterey, Carmel, San Simeon, Cambria, Morro Bay, and San Luis Obispo. Several state and local parks lie within it. Since it's completion in 1937, travelers driving famous Highway 1 have marveled at the mystique and magnificence of Big Sur's incomparable coastal scenery. Visitors come away from Big Sur remembering its beauty as well as the slow-paced culture that is so contrary to the rest of California; and those who own a Great Big Canvas of Big Sur can enjoy those things every day!
