While underdeveloped, it is the perfect place to enjoy the vast array of hiking trails. You will find trails leading through meadows and others they go along the beach. There is also one of the nicest walk-in camping grounds in the Big Sur. Across from Andrew Molera State Park is the Point Sur State Marine Reserve and Marine Conservation Area. Along the Big Sur, you will find an abundance of abalone and fish, as well as large stocks of mussels. Along the sheltered shores of the Big Sur, you will find Sea Otters, Sea Lions, and Harbor Seals who all take shelter there. It was near Point Sur in the 1930s that the Sea Otters were “rediscovered.” Here at Point Sur, they find the protection from the marine elements that they seek.
