A Dreamy Big Sur Proposal

The coast of Big Sur was wrapped in a soft, dreamy fog in the afternoon, setting the scene for something truly unforgettable. Jackson and Kennedy had planned a simple walk along the cliffs. One of those peaceful beach days where the ocean feels endless and time seems to pause. Even without sunshine, the view was breathtaking with the gray sky meeting the deep blue of the water below. It was calm, quiet, and full of anticipation, even if Kennedy didn’t know why just yet.

A Cliffside Engagement

As they reached the top of the cliffside path in Big Sur, they took a moment to soak in one of their favorite views from a quiet bench overlooking the Pacific. The world felt still for a moment, as if the ocean itself was holding its breath. In all honesty, I too was giddily watching it all unfold from afar. Kennedy looked out at the horizon, unaware that everything was about to change. Beside her, Jackson’s hand brushed against his pocket and there was this quiet, unspoken anticipation in the air. He turned toward her and dropped to one knee. Her shock turned into happy tears, and time seemed to slow as she said yes. It was incredibly romantic and easily one of my favorite Big Sur beach proposal moments of the year!

Best Time of Year for a Big Sur Beach Proposal
If you are dreaming of a beach proposal on the California coast, my vote will always be for Big Sur. Timing makes all the difference if you are planning. The best months for a Big Sur beach proposal are from April through October. During this time, the skies are usually clear. The cliffs may be covered in wildflowers. The chance of rain is low. Late spring and early fall bring softer light, fewer crowds, and a perfect mix of warmth and coastal breeze. Winter can be unpredictable. Even then, the moody weather can make for incredibly romantic Big Sur proposal photos if you are prepared.

Big Sur Proposal Tips and Rain Plan Ideas
Of course, weather on the coast can change quickly, so it is always smart to have a rain plan. You might consider booking a nearby ocean-view inn or a cozy café for a post-proposal celebration in case the skies open up. And if the rain does roll in, embrace it.
