This Is The Most Beautiful Place In California

MALIBU, CA – Summer is synonymous with vacation and whether or not you have a family holiday planned already, the good news is you don’t have to travel outside of California for a much-needed getaway.

California is full of beautiful vacation destinations but there is one location that stands out.

This month, Conde Nast Traveler says it did some digging and named the most beautiful place in every U.S. state.

“No state is the same, and each has its stars, the kind of sights that make you catch your breath and nearly veer off the highway,” Conde Nast writes. The magazine writes that the list “only scrapes the surface” of what the U.S. has to offer, so consider it as a starting point.

In California, Conde Nast named Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park in Big Sur the most beautiful place in the state. A main feature of the park is the McWay Falls, which drops over a cliff of 80 feet into the ocean. The park is also home to redwoods as tall as 300 feet that are over 2,500 years old.

The park is open to day use visitors a half hour before sunrise to a half hour after sunset, and costs $10 per car, per day. There are areas to camp that are hike-in only, with no vehicle access permitted. These sites are extremely popular and usually fill up six months in advance, according to the California State Parks website. Reservations are required, and camping costs $30 per night.
