I'm planning a surprise honeymoon to San Fran and Big Sur and was wanting to know what's the weather like on the Central Coast from middle to late March (I'm getting married on 11 March!). Thanks.

Kevin, sorry to tell you this but March is our "transition month" in northern California. The temps should be fine, but the chance of rain still exists. In good weather Big Sur is fabulous, in rain or fog, you don't want to go there. SF will always be good because you can get in out of the rain. That said, maybe this year will be perfectly dry and all the rain will be over. Sorry this is such a "non-answer."

I second Kam's posting. March weather is very iffy. The Big Sur is beautiful but if it is rainy and or foggy, than it is miserable.

If you are in Big Sur, you must go to Nepenthe restaurant. We stopped for breakgfast and sat outside. Food was wonderful, view was breathtaking. Also there is a nice gift shop there.

Brr. Ditto what kam said, often foggy, sometimes rainy, somtimes clear blue sky.

That said, it can be a romantic place in a mysterious way, with the swirling fog and all. The fog can make it very conducive to -uhhm- inside activities.

I'm not huge fan of Nepenthe, while it does have a fabulous view (when not foggy), I think I'd just have drinks there.
