Pfeiffer Beach at Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, California
When the sun sets over the Pacific Ocean, visitors to this central California beach may be treated to a brief beam of heavenly light as the sun’s rays beam through the keyhole arch in the sea stack off Pfeiffer Beach. Sometimes called a ‘mini Yosemite’, Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park combines a wide variety of ecosystems including redwood groves, the grassy banks of the Big Sur River, and the park’s titular beach, where garnet deposits in the sand can make the beach look purple. Who’s driving the first leg of this road trip?
