Arrive by 2:00pm for Sunset at Sun Portal at Pfeiffer Beach
9100 Sycamore Canyon Rd
Big Sur, CA 93920
36.238244, -121.815425
At this sea arch, a natural sun portal is formed between December and January every year. This is a photographer’s dream location and shot, so be sure to add it to your bucket list. Best to wait for a big wave to roll in through the arch then take photos of the light beam that bounces off the spray, illuminating the archway. I’d recommend arriving about 2 hours before the sun sets to get set up in a prime location. The light beam starts appearing about 40 minutes before sunset and gets more radiant closer to the setting.
Big Sur’s most popular coastal access point, Pfeiffer Beach is hard to find if you’ve never been to it before. The trick is locating unmarked Sycamore Canyon Road. Here’s a tip – Sycamore Canyon Road is the only paved, ungated road west of Highway One between the Big Sur post office and Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park. Once you find the turnout, make a very sharp turn. Then follow the road for about two miles until it ends. Drive carefully – this is narrow and winding road. It is unsuitable for trailer traffic. From a large parking area at the end of the road, a short, well-marked path leads to the beach. Cliffs tower above this breathtaking stretch of sand, and a large arch-shaped rock formation just off-shore makes for some dazzling sunsets.
