Why July

July is the foggiest month of the year here. The marine layer peaks in summer and the 1,200-foot Pacific views that define this property are frequently obscured. Long daylight hours help, and blue whales and humpbacks are feeding actively offshore, but on-property outdoor adventure is at its most limited.

What's possible this month
Book a Monterey whale watching tour for blue whales on summer krill upwelling
Time ridge hikes for 11am to 2pm when fog has the best chance of clearing
Take an evening stargazing session with the property's astronomers
Walk the sculpture trail through the redwood groves in the fog

Before you book July at Post Ranch Inn

July is peak summer in Big Sur, characterized by heavy marine layer fog that often lingers through the afternoon and keeps highs at 72°F. The property is fully booked, but the cool, misty environment is a perfect escape from inland heatwaves.
