Actually, you’ll drive right by it on the way back down US1. Good 1 hr-plus stop. A little trekking involved getting to the waterfall overlook, but not 2 bad.
The trip is Monterey and Point Lobos, but there are huge photo'ops on the way back down US1, and if you have time, I would plan on another day to take advantage of it. Wild flowers should be all over the place.
If you stay at San Siminan, Motel 6

is about $40 and makes for a good stop over for an extra 3rd night. Hurst Castle is in the same area.

Just be sure and lock up all your stuff or take it with you. I have heard this is a great spot to have your car broken into.
