Lucia is a hamlet located in the south region of Big Sur, California. Wilber Judson Harlan filed the first patent for land in the area in 1885. His family has continually resided in the location and the fifth generation still operates a hotel alongside the Big Sur Coast Highway. The Lucia Lodge is located 22 miles (35 km) south of Big Sur Village and 38 miles (61 km) north of Hearst Castle. The lodge is one of a very few along the south coast of Big Sur to offer accommodations to travelers. A small store and restaurant were destroyed by a fire in August 2021. The area is sparsely settled and Lucia miles away from any other business. Due to the remote location, gas prices are typically high.
