Description
Added by Courtney Clemmons
Head out on a leisurely walk to the beautiful Calla Lily Valley located near Big Sur, California. Enjoy beautiful views of the beach and a bluff lined with succulents and wildflowers.
Parking for Calla Lily Valley is available along the dirt pullout at Gate 19 for Garrapata State Park, near mile-marker 63. Signs are small and difficult to see. Follow the path between the guide wires and take the right fork, heading north to the bluff overlooking the beach. Continue north and follow the trail down the stairs to Doud Creek, where the Calla Lilies bloom in the valley in late winter and spring. Follow the trail through the valley out to Garrapata Beach.
Note: Per NPS.gov, dogs are permitted with a leash on the beach at Gate 19 (on the south end of the park) and trails leading to it. Dogs are not allowed in all other areas.
