While Big Sur's beaches hardly resemble the vast stretches of sun-baked sand that dot Southern California's easily-accessible coastline, they offer the visitor a wide variety of recreational possibilities.
Even during the summer, Big Sur's beaches are subject to generally cool weather. Sunny days are sporadic as a blanket of seasonal fog often hugs the coastline, dropping the temperature in the process. To be prepared, bring a change of warm clothes. Also, bring a pair of sturdy shoes. Big Sur's beaches require at least a short hike.
- Parallels today announced the release of Parallels Desktop 16.5 for Mac. The ability to run macOS Big Sur in a virtual machine is a feature that Parallels hopes to add support for in Parallels.
- Parallels inittool looks for system version 10.x, in beta 1 and beta 2 MacOS reported 10.16 as the system version from beta 3 onwards the system version is 11.0 and NOT 10.16 so Parallels inittool stops.
- Parallels Desktop 16 adds Big Sur support, 3D Metal support, and more Windows on Apple silicon is still a question mark, though. Samuel Axon - Aug 11, 2020 7:01 am UTC.

Parallels Not Working With Big Sur
Private property and Big Sur's steep terrain makes most of its coastline inaccessible to the public. Fortunately for the visitor, however, several State Park and U.S. Forest Service beaches are open to the public all year. The following beaches are recommended due to easy access and breath-taking scenery:Download our local Big Sur Visitors Guide in Adobe PDF.
| Andrew Molera State Park | (831) 667-1112Located 23 miles south of Carmel, Andrew Molera State Park is the largest state park on the Big Sur Coast. A wide, scenic, mile-long path leads to a sandy beach that is sheltered from the wind by a large bluff to the north. The path itself is as much a delight as the beach, taking you through a meadow filled with wildflowers and sycamore trees, offering fine views of the coastal mountain range to the east. The path parallels the Big Sur River, which enters the sea adjacent to Molera's beach. Aerial photos of Andrew Molera State Park Andrew Molera State Park is famous with bird watchers and the Ventana Wildlife Society has their office there. From this office several birding studies of the area are conducted in which the public is invited to participate. Click Here to view a bird checklist of the Andrew Molera State Park are |

| Partington Cove | Partington Cove holds a special piece of Big Sur history. Much of the tan bark and lumber was shipped out of this cove. There is a tunnel that goes through the ridgeline that opens into a beautiful cove which still has parts of the shipping tools bolted to the rocks. In addition, hiking inland from Partington Cove into Partington Canyon is a great hike! And the Tan Bark Trail is also a great and exhilerating climb. Aerial photographs of Partington Cove |
