Big Sur BackgroundBig Sur is a rugged area of Pacific coastline about 29 miles south of Monterey. Although the landscape is big here, the towns are not — in fact, there are no actual cities in Big Sur. Residents live in small communities that are scattered along the coastline, from Big Sur and Posts in the north to Lucia in the south.Access to the region remained limited until 1937, when Highway 1 was completed. The scenic roadway brought visitors who fell in love with the craggy cliffs and lush forests surrounding Big Sur. Writer Henry Miller lived in the area from 1944 until 1962, and today, Big Sur remains a writers' haven. It's also home to many artists, activists and nature lovers.
