McWay Falls is an 80-foot-tall (24 m) waterfall on the coast of Big Sur in central California that flows year-round from McWay Creek in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, about 37 miles (60 km) south of Carmel, into the Pacific Ocean. It is a tidefall, a waterfall that empties directly into the ocean, and one of only two in California, the other being Alamere Falls.
