The Big Sur Filming Locations
Big Sur is a rugged stretch of California’s central coast between Carmel and San Simeon. Bordered to the east by the Santa Lucia Mountains and the west by the Pacific Ocean, it’s traversed by narrow, 2-lane State Route 1, known for winding turns, seaside cliffs and views of the often-misty coastline. The sparsely populated region has numerous state parks for hiking, camping and beachcombing.
The Big Sur (1965)
This MGM short film narrated by Richard Burton promotes the studio's upcoming major release The Sandpiper (1965) starring Burton and his then wife Elizabeth Taylor. Panoramic shots of the ocean, the seashore and the desert segue into the artistic community with various of its well-known artists at work and play. It all leads to clips from the film being made.
