17-Mile Drive
What the experts agree on
Stunning coastal drive past Pebble Beach and mansion-lined cliffs; convertible-friendly and worth the toll even if golf isn't your thing. Free for cyclists and hikers starting from Pacific Grove.
“Tour the 17-Mile Drive—preferably in a convertible—around the legendary Pebble Beach Golf Links, ogling fantasy mansions with ocean views.”
