    Pacific Coast / PCH: The Lone Cypress

    This is the Lone Cypress that is depicted in the trademark of Pebble Beach. It's just one of many sites along the 17-Mile Drive on this peninsula. This drive provides access to many beautiful seaside views. However, they charged an $8 admission to drive our own vehicle on what I thought were public streets. I'm glad it was cheap. Although it was a nice drive, I'm not so sure it was even worth the lousy $8. Others may think otherwise. Try it for yourself and you decide.

    California! What is it that most people think of when they think of this state! For me it is the ocean! The Pacific ocean is a wonderful site...no matter how many times one views it! And though it is not 'off the beaten path' sometimes one would have to search out the path to view it!! This Beach photo is taken from the small town of Samoa California!! In the North!

  • if your comming up US 101 there are many senic drives that paralel the main highway. don't be afraid to take them - you will see alot more big trees and nature and it won't cost much in time. Also hit trinadad harbor. nice quiet places to get food and lodging. everything from B&B's to RV camps - clean and cheap.

    The Pigeon Point Light Station is one of the many attractions along the Pacific Coast Highway which hugs the coast to the south of San Francisco. The lighthouse was built in 1871 to warn ships of a particularly dangerous stretch of coastline. Nowadays, the lighthouse serves as a youth hostel.

    Pacific Coast / PCH: The Monterey Peninsula
  • Tip Rating:

  • Pacific Coast / PCH - California
    by traveldave
    The rocky coast of the Monterey Peninsula is one of the most beautiful areas in Northern California. There are several interesting places to see in the area, such as the city of Monterey, which is the home of the excellent Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row, made famous by the John Steinbeck novel of the same name.

    Nearby is the rich enclave of Carmel, the town where Clint Eastwood was once mayor. Also in Carmel is the world famous Pebble Beach Golf Course.

  • The La Jolla Cave - located inside the La Jolla Shell Shop in La Jolla, just outside of San Diego. 114 steps down the inside of a cliff leads you to the mouth of a cave and a view of the ocean - gorgeous - and only one way down or out.
