Come for the Views- and stay for the spirit of adventure
Whether you’re seeking a restorative weekend escape, a memorable chapter of your Pacific Coast road trip, or a cozy base for exploring Big Sur’s wild coastline, Gorda Springs Resort invites you to step into our off-grid sanctuary.
Whale Watching
Just beyond the cliffs of Gorda Springs Resort lies one of the Pacific Ocean’s most extraordinary natural features—the deep underwater Monterey Submarine Canyon, part of a massive trench that runs along the Big Sur coastline. This unique oceanic topography creates an incredibly rich marine environment that draws humpback whales close to shore, offering front-row seats to one of nature’s greatest migrations.
Every year, humpback whales travel thousands of miles from their tropical breeding grounds in Mexico and Central America to the nutrient-rich feeding grounds off the California coast. From late spring through early fall, these majestic giants can be seen breaching, diving, and surfacing just off the coast of Gorda Springs, often within a mile or two of shore. The trench allows cold, nutrient-dense waters to rise up from the ocean floor, supporting dense schools of anchovies and krill—the perfect buffet for hungry whales.
Whether you’re sipping coffee on your private patio or soaking in the ocean air along Highway 1, Gorda Springs offers a rare and intimate view of this epic migration. It’s not just a vacation—it’s a front-row experience to the wonders of the deep.
