  • GOLF! GOLF!! GOLF!!!! The Pebble Beach Golf Course is one of the best in the world. But if you, like me, still haven't mastered the art of hitting that ball like how Tiger Woods would (with finesse), don't despair! There are some lovely shops here to distract you.... Scroll down and see my next recommendation. :-))

  • SHOPPING. :-))

    While waiting for your buddies to return to the club house after their game of golf, you can amuse yourself by SHOPPING at the lovely boutiques here. But be warned. The things sold at this place are VERY expensive.... Oh well....

    Maybe I should start learning how to golf instead huh?

    Visit the tide pools and turn-outs with rocks
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is a relaxing way to enjoy life. Be careful not to wade into the water because it is cold and the surf is dangerous. But, the tide pools are rich in invertibrate sealife.

  • Address: Along 17 mile drive
  • Directions: Take Hwy 1 past Monterrey, and take Pebble Beach exit. There are several gates, all of which will eventually wind into the 17 mile drive. Keep your receipt in case you accidentally leave.

    Walk the Dog on the Beach
  • Tip Rating:
  • Recently, we took our miniature schnauzer to the beach for the first time. He had a great time checking out the concept of sand, chasing the low flying seabirds, and smelling the piles of seaweed. We saw another dog owner tossing a piece of driftwood into the surf for his golden retriever to fetch. Surprising as it may seem, the uppercrust community of Pebble Beach has few restrictions for dog owners on the beach. Allowing one's dog to hunt sealife or bite strollers on the beach would certainly be a violation of the environmental and pacific code of conduct here, but because the surf is not safe for bathing anyway, the problem of dog doo-doo is basically a non-issue here. There are actually few dogs being walked, and the doo-doo quickly washes in to the turbulent surf with high tide. Stay on the trails, and use common sense when letting your dog swim.

    Walk or Jog to Pebble Beach from Asilomar
  • Tip Rating:
  • I finally got around to jogging in Pebble Beach. I parked at Asilomar Beach along Sunset Drive between the surfer beach and Fishwife restaurant. The trail cuts though some evergreen trees, then immediately becomes a narrow, but sturdy boardwalk on the dunes between the beach and the Links at Spanish Bay golf course. For about a mile you can continue on this boardwalk enjoying great views of the Pacific Ocean until it ends at a big parking area and picnic spot at Moss Beach along Spanish Bay. The trail continues as packed dirt along the water and next to the road in various sections, taking you past Point Joe and the Unsettled Sea (about 1.5 miles from Asilomar), China Rock (~2.25 miles), then Bird Rock (3 miles). This is as far as I have ventured on foot, but the trail definitely continues.

    My goal is to have someone drop me off at Asilomar then pick me up at Carmel Beach an hour or so later (it's about 9 miles total if you stick to the eater).

    By the way, walking into Pebble Beach is free! Driving costs $9.

    AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am
  • Tip Rating:
  • Bing Crosby created a tradition in 1947 at Pebble Beach that would live on through today. It is an annual tournament with PGA Professionals and Celebrity Amateur golfers with the earnings benefitting charities worldwide. The event normally takes place in early February, which is at the start of the golfing season for the PGA professionals, which makes this tournament well attended. The centerpeice of this tournament is Pebble Beach Golf Links, but also includes the other two courses in the Pebble family, Spyglass and Spanish Bay.

    Overall, this is a worthwhile event to come and watch as well as alot of fun, since there are usually a few antics provided by the celebrities.

    17 Mile Drive - Lone Cypress (#16)

    Described by most as the pinnacle of the 17 mile drive, the Lone Cypress is a miracle of horticulture. Standing alone out of a rock formation dangling fearlessly into the Pacific Ocean, this tree has stood the test of time. Human contact with the tree has been 250 years, although no one can predict how long the tree stood before this. The Cypress is the symbol of the Pebble Beach community, so it would be a shame not to see it!

  • Tip Rating:
  • Here's one of the sights along the 17-Mile Drive. This is Bird Rock, and as the 17-mile drive guide brochure says: 'This stately landmark is home to countless shorebirds and groups of harbour seals and sea lions.'

  • More beautiful scenery of Pebble Beach along the drive. This is Point Joe & the Restless Sea. I took this photo with my regular 35 mm automatic camera, but it turned out to be one of the best photos I've ever taken!
