Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, Big Sur, California

If you're looking for more than just a beach to lounge on, Big Sur is the place for you. This postcard-worthy destination offers great hiking that will lead you to waterfalls, plenty of greenery, and steep but stunning cliffs. There's also a chance you'll run into some sea life along the way, like otters and dolphins.
