About John Little State Natural Reserve in Big Sur, California
John Little State Natural Reserve is a relatively unknown state-owned property protects the land at this spot along along the rugged Big Sur coastline. The property includes the banks of Lime Creek and the old cabin of conservationist Elizabeth K. Livermore. Unfortunately the state does not allow access to the rocky beach below. When John Little SNR is open for public access (it’s frequently closed) then it is worth stopping to enjoy the preserved coastal land and historical site. The gated driveway for the cabin is located south of the Esalen Institute along Highway 1. Just north and south of the property entrance at 55420 Cabrillo Highway there are pull-out parking lots that have wide-open views over the ocean.
