17 Mile Drive, Monterey

Rusty, Whisky and I did the 17 Mile drive in Pebble Beach yesterday, which is basically a private road that they charge you $10.25 to drive through the fancy shmancy Pebble Beach golf course   on the Monterey Peninsula.

I have to say it was amazing. Beautiful pristine white sand beaches, cypress trees and tons of wildlife. We saw deer, sea lions, elephant seals, harbor seals, lots of birds and even did some tide pooling. The coolest thing we saw was a tiny orange starfish. About the size of a quarter.

Dogs were allowed everywhere so long as they were on a leash and didn't bother the wildlife. We spent hours just sitting and chilling.

We finished up our day with a nice dinner. Rusty had salmon from the bay. And we shared a bottle of Monterey wine. All in all a very lovely day.

Today we're off for Pacific Dunes in Oceano, making our way back to LA and Eddie and Christine's wedding!

  1. I think that is the most beautiful drive in the whole world. Kurt and I did it after our first trip to Australia on our way from SFO to Cynthia's graduation at Lewis and Clark. Made us appreciate our own coastline.
