Lucia Lodge is a picturesque family-owned historic resort perched on a cliff along the Big Sur coast, boasting some of the most stunning views of the California Central Coast. The Lucia store was established in 1937, coinciding with the opening of Highway 1. A fire destroyed the restaurant and store in August 2021; however, the lodge, located just 100 yards to the north, continues to operate and is a fantastic place to stay if you're looking for a place to treat yourself and relax during an extensive adventure along the incredible coastline.
