Big Sur's Molera State Park

We decided to head south to Garrapata Creek in a bouldering hunting trip. The road does not have many access to the coast since most of them are private properties. Driving about 10 miles south, we stopped at the Rocky point restaurant but found only loose rocks and fishermen.

After Rocky point, the road never gets close to the beach anymore for many miles. The access to the sea is limited since it is getting really steep.


The next time the road reaches the beach, we could not access it either because it belongs to the Naval Army. What a bummer, stretch of pristine beaches left to military!
Further south, we stopped at the Molera state park and walked to the beach. Plenty of rock could be found there, but the sandstone rock is too fragile for climbing.
Nevertheless, the kids had fun making and fixing their house beach.

Nice Fire Place.

Big Sur Garrapata Bouldering

Garrapata Creek has some decent granite and sandstone bouldering. It can be found about 9 miles south the Rio road cross light.
