Coastal California is where it's said that the ocean meets the sky. Linked by the twisty yet scenic Highway 1, it is here that you'll find waterfall excursions featuring ocean panoramas and dramatic sunsets. Such places capture the imagination of many Californians - whether they're nature lovers or city slickers looking for a blissful getaway. In fact, my wife and I considered getting married on the Big Sur Coast, which sits at the heart of this incredible landscape.
Among the more dramatic near-ocean waterfalls are McWay Falls in Big Sur and Alamere Falls in the Point Reyes National Seashore.
For the purposes of this discussion, this section covers the California Coast as far south as the southern tip of Big Sur (near Ragged Point) and as far north as Point Reyes. Big Sur is upwards of 4 hours of driving north of Los Angeles while Point Reyes is a couple hours north of San Fransisco.
