Don't forget to mention that Monterey has a regional airport, MRY. It's a bit more expensive because it's regional, but that also makes it fairly hassle free. There are direct flights from various locations, so check out this airport when making plans. And, obviously, you're going to need a car when going to Big Sur, so factor that in as well.
A good diving location is Garrapata State Beach and Pfeiffer Beach is a popular spot for swimming in Big Sur. The temperature (according to seatemperature.re) is high 50s in the summer. I haven't tried swimming there for years but the last time I did (ages ago) I found it VERY cold!
Great info. Those videos with girls camping in their vans doing outfit checks drives me bonkers😂
Thank you! No outfit checks in my videos, obviously!

You're very right - forgot about the Monterey airport (didn't even think of it!)
Is there a place to snorkel or swim? What is water temp during the summer?
