 Near Spyglass Hill Golf Course by travelgourmet
Within this area are world class golf courses, such as the Pebble Beach Golf Links, The Links at Spanish Bay,and Spyglass Hill Golf Course. Also to be seen is one of California's most photographed trees, the Lone Cypress. Many vantage stops are on the 17 mile drive with vistas that make you just gasp in awe.
More pictures of this magnificent drive is in my Carmel-by-the-Sea travelogue.

San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo Mission, 1771, is the site of The Carmel Mission Basilica and National Shrine of Blessed Junipero Serra, who founded the California Missions and is buried in the Church. Peaceful is the word of the entire grounds that overlook the sea with the hill top view of mountains to the inland side, making a visit to these grounds a must when in the Carmel area.
Tours are given as well as self-guided tours of the entire grounds. I found the museum and buildings to be well worth a stop alone, but combined with the historic background and the burial site of the founder, I believe it to be very educational and emotional as well, no matter what faith or belief you may have. Check out their website for all the facts and figures regarding this Mission.

 Golfing in the Monterey Bay by shivan
Somebody told us that once you have driven through the Big Sur, nothing, in the 17 miles drive could ever impress you more.
That was true.
That road in the park, is nice, nothing more. Leave a Comment

 typical Monterey citizen by shivan
Reading a illustrative paper, I learnt that the area has been discovered in the 17th century by the spanish, but the first constructions did start early in the 20th century, including the inevitable Golf Course.
The ecosystem is well preserved, as the presence of animals close to the road clearly shows. Leave a Comment

 Scenic Views by shivan
Along THIS Scenic Road (actually the 17 miles drive is worth being called Scenic Road, far more than others) is filled with parking areas to stop, have a break, and enjoy the landscape.
Do it, the rocky profile of the Pebble Beach and surroundings deserve your attention. Leave a Comment

A shortish drive south of Carmel, along Highway 1, and you will find yourself in the Big Sur region. Big Sur is home to State Parks filled with redwood forests, stunning coastal scenery, secluded coves and beaches, and all manor of hiking trails for the active visitor.
We spent a day driving along Highway 1, exploring a couple of the State Parks, visiting a pretty beach and even going on a short hike through the forest. We also saw the historic Bixby Bridge which makes a great photo subject.
More information can be found on my Big Sur page. Leave a Comment

 close encounters by shivan
Ecosystem is intact in there, the area is filled also with big houses of rich people.
Evidency of richness, underlined also by the large cars with which they drive.
A lovely place to drive through. Leave a Comment

 Don't miss this by shivan
The common mistake (we obviously did) is to think "oh well, let's go there for this 17 miles and then head north!"
Those are not common 17 miles, those are miles where to drive SLOWLY, especially if in column with other sleepers.
Take at least 2 hours to do the things with calm. Leave a Comment
