We found out the hard way that Jade Cove is marked by nothing more than a wide spot in the road. We wasted an hour of precious low tide time while searching but got to see beautiful Big Sur. The climb down was steep, ending with a rappel down a rope attached to the cliffside. The beach was very rocky. We spent a while looking around and brought home a couple of rocks but Im not entirely sure they 're jade. On the way home we stopped above San Simeon to check out the elephant seals.
