Pebble Beach may be a swanky resort community, but the popular destination is also known for its coastal ambiance and unparalleled scenery along steep cliffs and forested areas. The best way to see your surroundings? An escorted trail ride from the Pebble Beach Equestrian Center.

17-Mile Drive
Horseback riding is not for everyone, so with that in mind there is also the 17-Mile Drive, which is a privately maintained scenic route that traverses the Monterey Peninsula. Noted as one of the greatest tourist attractions in the western U.S., this highway is the place to see the Lone Cypress, Seal Rock, and Pescadero Point. Along the way you may spot native wildlife, including deer, sea otters, harbor seals, and sea lions.
