Andrew Molera State Park
Andrew Molera State Park
   ANDREW MOLERA STATE PARK: Molera is a wide-open, wind-swept picture where the Big Sur River runs natural out to the sea. A very undeveloped park that is excellent for hiking, biking, fishing and general beachcombing. There are 24 camping sites available on a first come, first serve basis. Another marvelous beach located in the Big Sur area off Highway one along the central California coast, only 20 miles south of Carmel by the Sea. There are seven and a half miles of trails, wonderful meadows, beaches and hilltops that have remained very primitive and popular today with hikers and bikers and all outdoor enthusiasts.
CLIMATE: The weather varies and layered clothing is advised. Often the weather ranges from the low 40’s in the evening or winter to the mid 60’s and 70’s during the warmer months, to include October. Sometimes evenings can offer amazingly clear skies, which are wonderful for star gazing.

  • Bike trails
