It is located along a 1-mile-long stretch of Big Sur Coast Highway in the Big Sur Valley 24 miles south of Carmel, California. The village contains the largest collection of shops and visitor services along the entire 71-mile segment of California State Route 1 between Malpaso Creek near Carmel Highlands in the north and San Carpóforo Creek near San Simeon in the south. The population of the entire coastal region is about 1,463. The collection of small roadside businesses and homes is often confused with the larger region, also known as Big Sur.
