I made several stops for pictures (unfortunately I only had my camera phone) and to use the binocs to look at all the whales I kept seeing offshore. This week I saw probably 15 whales and even saw some flukes to go along with the spouts! I'm pretty sure I also saw some dolphins or porpoises as well.
This coastline never ceases to amaze me. The rocky shorelines and intertidal zones hold life to so many different animals that take cover in the tidepools during low tide. I went down to the water in one area to check out the anemones, put my feet in the cool 55-degree water, and see if I could find the sea lions I was hearing. The sea lions were offshore a bit on a group of rocks but I saw a bunch of anemones and hermit crabs.
The most famous point on this drive is the Lone Cypress that stands with support from a cable to help keep it from falling. This tree is over 200 years old and is the symbol of the Pebble Beach area.
The drive ends at Pebble Beach where along with the monumental golf course are some shops and restaurants. To think of the names that have walked on this land is dumbfounding. There are several plaques in honor of these great men that have played on this course.
Simply put one of the most amazing drives I've ever been on! This area keeps getting better.
