Answer:
I work for the Monterey County Visitor's Center and some of the main attractions we like to recommend are the Big Sur River Inn Restaurant and Nepenthe which is also another restaurant a little further south. The Big Sur Village also has several eclectic fun shops. The main attraction on the Big Sur coast would have to be the views. After traveling up and down this state, I would have to say this is one of my favorite spots because of the unbeatable dramatic views. There is also the Point Sur Lighthouse which offers tours daily and several hiking opportunities. i hope this helped!
