Along the 17-Mile Drive....
As you drive along the rugged coastline and deep into the Del Monte Forest, don't forget to make short stops at the following scenic spots:
Point Joe and marvel at the colliding ocean currents of the Restless Sea.
Bird Rock (home to tons of sea lions, harbor seals and bird!). Don't worry... Binoculars WILL be provided to allow visitors a closer look.
China Rock (named in memory of the Chinese settlers who lived in fishing villages here in the 1800s).
Fanshell Overlook... and Fanshell Beach.
Cypress Point Look-out.
Crocker Grove (did you know that the oldest and largest known Monterey cypress tree grows in this beautiful sanctuary?). Enthralling!
Lone Cypress Tree - This 200-300 year old tree is definitely the most famous tree in the entire world!
O.K., enjoy your drive now! :-))

go on the scenic 17-Mile Drive.
Don't ever let the admission fee of US$7 dissuade you from entering. You'll be missing out on one of the most SPECTACULAR drives in the entire world. I'm really not kidding.
Shall we begin our drive??

visit the world-famous Pebble Beach Golf Course. Many major golf tournaments are held here.
More details later...
Hi. That's a pic of me standing just outside the clubhouse... trying to amuse myself whilst my buddies were out golfing that early morning (yawn!).

Nature may have its perfect weight loss specimen in this cute yet ferocious hunter, the Sea Otter. Upwards of one million of these animals existed at one time, although the numbers are closer to 1000 now, as many people hunted these animals for their fur. This fur was very valuable because of its density, known to be 8-9 times more dense than others. This is what keeps the otter in such tremendous shape, since the dense fur allows for less body fat on the otter. This does come at a price though, because with the lack of fat, the otters metabolism is so high that it has to hunt as much as 5 hours a day to keep satiated. The Sea otter is officially on the endangered species list, so please only take photographs! Leave a Comment

During your drive throughout the Pebble Beach community, you will see an abundance of flora and fauna. One particular animal however should be looked after extremely carefully. There is a large number of deer that stay primarilly in the wooded areas in close proximity to the road. For the safety of these animals and your car, please drive slowly here! Leave a Comment

Surviving in the harsh conditions of the Pacific Ocean can be tough for some animals. Take for instance this seagull, having to live its entire life on one leg. Amazing to think that this gull could take off and land so many times on just one leg. As we sat there, we just gawked at the ability of this avian acrobat. My hat goes off to it. Well, it went off to it until the gull dropped its other leg down from under its feather coat.
Oh well, I still had respect for the bird anyway! Leave a Comment

That's my little sister... photographed some where along the 17-Mile Drive. No... she didn't come with me on this trip. This pic was taken recently when she was there with her buddies. Doesn't she feel cold?? Hm!

The famous Lone Cypress Tree, one of California's most enduring landmarks. The Lone Cypress has withstood time and rough weather and prevailed on its rocky perch for over 250 years. Leave a Comment

Pebble Beach and the seventeen mile drive toll is expensive, you might wonder if it’s worth the trip. I believe so, you will see sea lions and otters, terrific homes and lands, a glimpse at the rich and famous, ... Leave a Comment
