Big Sur Coast Overrated; McWay Cove Remains Spectacular

McWay Cove and Waterfall on the Big Sur Coast of California. Much of the coastline and inland is charred and burned by many fires. This is one of the few highlights for me along the denuded coast. Far superior is the Southern Oregon Coast, Mendocino Coast, and North Coast. Big Sur is far, far, far overrated. Photo by Glenn Franco Simmons. © Glenn Franco Simmons.
