Slates Hot Springs (also known as Big Sur Hot Springs,[1]Slate's Hot Springs,[1]Slate's Springs,[2] and Slate's Hot Sulphur Springs[2]) is the site of a hot spring in the Big Sur region of Monterey County, California.[1] It is located 8 miles (13 km) north-northwest of Lopez Point,[2] at an elevation of 118 feet (36 m).[1]
Thomas B. Slate filed a land patent for the site and adjacent land on September 9, 1882. He built a home on the site of the springs in 1868 and developed the springs for tourists. He claimed that the waters cured him of arthritis and it attracted others seeking a cure for their physical ailments.[2] He sold the property to Salinas physician Dr. Henry Cloyd Murphy in 1910, whose family owned it until 1967, when Michael Murphy and Dick Price bought it from the estate of Michael's grandmother, Vinnie McDonald Murphy. They incorporated the business as Esalen Institute.[2]
