There is no service in Big Sur, so plan ahead.The weather is the nicest but it’s also the most crowded. The most popular time to go is from April to October.For another impressive waterfall, I recommend Lime Kiln Falls which is just as tall, but instead of landing on a beach near a beautiful cove it is surrounded by gigantic redwood trees. In my opinion, a trip down Partington Cove, only a few miles north of McWay Falls, also gives stupendous views of the ocean, complete with a rocky beach and a wooden tunnel. However, as you can't get close to the waterfall and can only view it from the overlook, which although it is still an impressive sight, it can be a little less impressive than people make it out to be. It is a very impressive waterfall and is most definitely one of the must stops along Route 1. McWay Falls plummeting down into the cove along the ocean there is truly a sight to behold. One called Canyon Trail supposedly is only a short distance to yet another waterfall, this one sixty feet tall. There are several trails east of Route 1 that are also closed from recent fires. If such a trail ever existed, it either no longer does or is now closed due to the instability of the cliffside. It was rumored that there was another trail that went closer to the falls than the overlook. Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park was reopened by at the latest July 2021. In March 2019, several storms caused damage to the cliffs and made the trail to the overlook hazardous. Apparently, the overlook for McWay Falls is now located where the house formerly was. Sadly, there was difficulty in getting a museum together and the house was demolished. Additionally, it was required that her house either be demolished or turned into a museum, specifically for the display of indigenous Native American relics, flora and fauna of the California coastal area, and historical objects from the Big Sur area. After the Congressman passed away, in 1961 Helene Hooper Brown donated the property and land to the state, with the stipulation that the area be used as a park named after her good friend, Julia Pfeiffer Burns. Lathrop Brown and his wife Helene Hooper Brown built a cabin, which was later replaced with a two story home, on top of the cliffs opposite the falls. Congressman and his wife, having purchased it in 1924 from a pioneer, Christopher McWay. Originally the area was known as Saddle Rock and was owned by a U.S.
McWay Falls, however, didn't always land on the beach like it does now. The trail is roughly six tenths of a mile round trip. Across from the parking lot is the beginning of the trail, which will pass through a tunnel under Route 1 and then travel alongside a cliff until you are opposite from the waterfall, standing on an overlook, and able to view the falls. If you enter the state park, which does cost an entry fee, there is a small parking lot, some camping, and some bathrooms. This viewing area is accessible from a short trail that can be found in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park. Although the waterfall is inaccessible, you can reach a prominent viewing area across the way from it.
