The sole business active today is the Lucia Lodge, one of a very few along the south coast of Big Sur to offer accommodations to travelers.[2][5] Lucia is miles away from any other business.[6] Due to the remote location, gas prices are typically high.[7] A small store and restaurant attached to the Lodge were destroyed by a fire in August 2021.[8]
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 the Lucia Lodge alongside the Big Sur Coast Highway.
