✨ McWay Falls, Big Sur, California ✨
This stunning photograph captures McWay Falls, one of Big Sur’s most iconic and enchanting landmarks. The 80-foot waterfall cascades gracefully from granite cliffs directly onto the sandy beach below or into the Pacific Ocean, depending on the tide. Located within Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, McWay Falls is one of only two tidefalls in California — waterfalls that flow directly into the sea. Named after Christopher McWay, a rancher who once owned the land, the site became part of the state park in the 1960s. Surrounded by dramatic coastal cliffs, turquoise waters, and ancient cypress trees, McWay Falls offers visitors and photographers alike a timeless glimpse of California’s rugged, unspoiled beauty.
