Partington Cove
Big Sur, United States
Partington Cove is a rugged, hidden inlet on the Big Sur coast, once used for shipping tanbark around the 19th century. Visitors descend a steep trail and walk through a historic tunnel, emerging onto the rocky shore where remnants of a wooden wagon road can still be seen. It's an adventurer's spot, best suited for those seeking solitude and a sense of historic discovery.
