Just south of Monterrey and Pacific Grove starts the 17-mile drive, a road with beautiful scenery all along. We took almost 2 hours since we stopped at the different lookouts and just took our time enjoying the view. It ends with Pebble Beach and its world-famous golf course.
The famous Monterrey sea otter in its natural habitat!
You need a close-up to figure out what is on this "Bird Rock":
Seals! And alot of them...
Last stop of 17-mile drive, The Lone Cypress, loyal to its rock since over 250 years:
Coming out of the drive, you drive through the little town of Carmel, with its million dollar houses overlooking the ocean.A little further we stopped at Point Lobos State Preserve, another must-see of the Central Coast.
It is a perfect place to spend a whole day just hiking the trails through the cypress forests and then following the rocky shores. We only could stay a couple hours but we still got to spot some whales in the distance! November and December is the season for them to migrate through the area.
