Pfeiffer Beach, located in Big Sur, California, is a popular spot known for its iconic Keyhole Rock, which photographers love to capture during sunset. The beach is within the Los Padres National Forest and offers rare ocean access along the rugged Big Sur coast. Visitors should keep an eye out for foggy "June Gloom" weather from June to August. The beach has a rich history dating back to the Pfeiffer family, who settled in the area in the late 1800s and established the Pfeiffer Ranch Resort.
