South of Carmel and stretching along 90 miles of breathtaking scenery along Highway 1 is the unincorporated area known as Big Sur. An inspiration to every artist and poet, including some who made their homes here, Big Sur offers 580 miles of hiking trails in and around Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park and the Big Sur Wilderness, consisting of Los Padres National Forest and the Ventana Wilderness. Other spectacular park lands abound: Andrew Molera State Park, Garrapata State Park, Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park. To describe Big Sur as paradise or Eden is an understatement. Some of the more remote mountain areas of Big Sur still lack electricity. Big Sur is truly a place to get away from it all and experience all that Mother Nature has to offer. Big Sur has always attracted such visitors from all over the world. For such a large expanse of land, the population is incredibly small at only 1,400 people and 660 households. Median and average annual household income is well over the national figures. Roughly half of the population is part of the workforce, with half of that number employed in white-collar occupations. However, the area has no employers with more than 200 employees. Personal and professional services account for 56% of all employment in the Big Sur area. Wholesale and retail trades account for 17%; agriculture 15%; manufacturing 8%; public administration 2%; and transportation, communications, and utilities 1%. The governing body for Big Sur is the Monterey County Board of Supervisors.
