Historic 17-Mile Drive: a Road Worth Traveling © Joann Dost HISTORIC 17-MILE DRIVE: A ROAD WORTH TRAVELING For more than 100 years, historic 17-Mile Drive at Pebble Beach Resorts has been one of the country’s most popular landmarks. For a nominal entrance fee of $9.50 per vehicle (waived for guests of Pebble Beach Resorts), visitors can embark on an exciting journey of exploration and discovery. The Drive wends counter-clockwise from Pacific Grove along the coastline to Pebble Beach and the outskirts of Carmel, then back through Del Monte Forest. Along the way visitors can: • Visit The Lone Cypress, one of America’s most recognized landmarks and the most photographed tree in the world. Set on a rocky promontory, this classic California landmark, estimated to be somewhere between 200 and 300 years old, has become the trademark of Pebble Beach Company. • Watch spectacular sunsets fronted by the rocky shore below and backed by magnificent Del Monte Forest. • Stop by The Lodge at Pebble Beach, home of world famous Pebble Beach Golf Links, and enjoy the Resorts’ fine dining, shopping facilities and exquisite views of Carmel Bay. By the time visitors have completed 17-Mile Drive, they will have heard capricious seals barking and white surf crashing onto beaches of pure sand. They will have felt the fresh salt spray, traveled through stands of stately Monterey Pines, marveled at the Pacific Coastline and discovered that spectacular 17-Mile Drive is a road well worth traveling. Ideally situated along famed 17-Mile Drive, on the beautiful Monterey Peninsula, The Inn at Spanish Bay, Casa Palmero and The Lodge at Pebble Beach provide the best that civilization has to offer – the comfort of superlative accommodations, exemplary service and exceptional recreational facilities. For reservations or information, call (831) 647-7500 or toll free at (800) 654-9300.

  • Pebble Beach, California Pebble Beach Is an Unincorporated Community on the Monterey Peninsula in Monterey County, California
    www.caseylucius.com [email protected] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Pebble Beach, California Pebble Beach is an unincorporated community on the Monterey Peninsula in Monterey County, California. It lies at sea level.[1] In addition to being a small coastal residential community of mostly single-family homes, Pebble Beach is a resort destination and home to the famous golf courses of Cypress Point Club, Monterey Peninsula Country Club, and Pebble Beach Golf Links. The Pebble Beach Golf Links, The Inn at Spanish Bay, The Lodge at Pebble Beach and four of the eight golf courses inside the Pebble Beach community are among the local assets owned by the Pebble Beach Company. Residents pay road fees for maintenance as well as Monterey County property taxes. Application of the property tax revenues is the realm of the Pebble Beach Community Services District, a public agency that is independent of local private facilities, e.g., golf courses, with an elected Board of Directors that manages essential functions including fire protection and emergency medical services, supplemental law enforcement, wastewater collection and treatment, recycled water distribution, and garbage collection, disposal and recycling. The community's post office is named Pebble Beach, as is its identity; whereas, the U.S. Census Bureau aggregates census returns from Pebble Beach as part of the larger census-designated place of Del Monte Forest. However, residents and visitors associate and identify with the name Pebble Beach; boundaries of the Del Monte Forest extend outside of the Pebble Beach community boundaries encompassing a larger forest area that comprises the wooded parts Monterey Peninsula.
