The entire Monterey Peninsula is breathtakingly beautiful, but there are parts that hug the Pacific coastline that are among the most scenic in the world. The stretch of 17 miles of the road through Pebble Beach Resort and Pacific Grove is one of the most visited tourist destinations in California with millions of tourists passing through every year.
There is so much to see during this relatively short route – a 250-year-old Monterey Cypress, Fanshell Overlook with a white sand beach where sea lions come to have babies, the lovely picnic spot in Spanish Bay, and The Lodge built in 1919 with a great golf course, shops, and restaurants.
