One of the most scenic drives anywhere in the world, this stretch of highway runs between Pacific Grove and Carmel. You will see incredible beaches, six golf courses and more mansions than you can count. You will drive by several epicurean restaurants, all of which will refund the USD8 toll fee that you pay to drive this road. Pedestrians and cyclists can enter for free. The road snakes its way like a serpent, along the California coast and then through the Del Monte Forest. This drive is an absolute must for anyone visiting the Monterey Peninsula. Bring lots of film. See website for visitor details.

Wouldn't go again
The drive is nice enough. However, I am puzzled why they charge for it. You get better scenery north of San Francisco on the coast.

Spectacular Sunset
This was an amazing few hours. I started the 17 mile drive close to 5pm, hoping to time the sunset. The first part is not too scenic, however...
