Pfeiffer Falls
Pfeiffer Falls is a small multi-stranded waterfall in the shadowy forest within Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park. With all facilities and amenities here, they charge a day use fee ($7 when we went back in 2001). Still, that doesn't deter the heaps of visitors who crowd the park and can make parking a bit tricky. It's a little less than a mile round trip to get to the falls from the nearest car park. At the falls, you can see most of its 60ft drop from a platform right in front of the falls. You have the option of continuing further past the falls towards an overlook of Big Sur Valley along the Valley View Trail. This park is roughly 30-45 minutes south of Carmel on Hwy 1. The park is well-signed with lots of activity so you can't miss it.
