Please stay clear of the area for your own safety and to allow the construction team to work on re-building this vital part of the road.

Thanks for the information and the updates weekly and daily. love big sur and it’s coast. Any information or updates when will Pfeiffer Beach be Opened? i have not visited this place since last year as i was on business travel and heard from the news the fires last summer and land slides. I just came back Excited and ready to visit the coast of Big Sur Beaches as it saddening to hear it closed till further notice. Waited 6 months to visit this place thanks again… 🙂
Dexter, can’t get to Pfeiffer Beach at the moment due to the construction of the bridge just feet south. Probably won’t open until the bridge does, sometime is October is the current prediction.
thanks for the information hope this will open sooner as it is not the far from the bridge closure thanks again…
If wishes (or hopes) were horses … unfortunately won’t make it open before the bridge is done. Turn around of ALL visitors is at the MAF – Ranger’s Station which is BEFORE Sycamore Canyon.
