About Us
Gorda Springs Resort is a town unto itself, with lodging, dining, gas, a general store and gift shop, and a deli and espresso bar.
Located on the "South Coast" of Big Sur, Gorda Springs is a lightly populated, family owned & operated resort located on Highway 1 on the Central Coast, a region frequently praised for its rugged coastline and mountain views, where the Santa Lucia Mountains rise abruptly from the Pacific Ocean. The coast is the longest and most scenic stretch of undeveloped coastline in the [contiguous] United States, it has been described as a national treasure that demands extraordinary procedures to protect it from development and one of the most beautiful coastlines anywhere in the world, an isolated stretch of road, mythic in reputation.

Blue whales can reach speeds of 31 miles per hour, but typically swim at around 12 miles per hour and slow to three when they're feeding.
Blue whales eat up to four tons of krill per day. Krill look like tiny shrimp, only an inch long, but there are so many in the world their mass is double that of humans.
There are about 8,000 blue whales worldwide. They can live to 80 years old.
