However, we "only" enjoyed the surf with the rugged rocks, the Pacific and the nature along 17-Mile Beach ☺️
The Lone Cypress is an absolute tourist attraction there and we couldn't escape a certain fascination either 😊 More information at de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/17-Mile_Drive

The Pebble Beach Cruise offers an easy touring bicycle experience along one of California's most iconic coastlines. You'll pedal past dramatic ocean views, rugged beaches, and the famous Lone Cypress Tree, all while enjoying the fresh sea air. This 7.4-mile (11.8 km) route features rolling hills and a modest 251 feet (77 metres) of elevation gain, making it a perfect, leisurely ride that takes about 43 minutes.
Planning your visit is straightforward, as cyclists typically enjoy free access to the 17-Mile Drive from sunrise to sunset, bypassing the car entrance fee. To ensure a pleasant ride, consider starting early in the morning to avoid heavier traffic, especially since some sections have narrow shoulders or no dedicated bike lanes. Less experienced riders might prefer to cycle only a portion of the route, such as from the Pacific Grove gate to Point Joe, for a more relaxed outing.
This route is celebrated for blending natural coastal splendor with man-made luxury, offering glimpses of multi-million-dollar homes and pristine golf courses alongside marine wildlife like sea otters and seals. Cycling allows for a unique perspective, letting you fully appreciate the subtle details and sounds often missed from a car, making it a truly memorable experience on the Monterey Peninsula.
