Point Joe

Highlight • Viewpoint

Coastal trail is a flat and easy run with nice views and a sound and smell of the ocean. The waves are smashing against the rocks here.

At the end of the 19th century there were wooden huts. Chinese immigrants had built them. They made their living by fishing, selling shells and pebbles polished to a high gloss for tourists. The namesake of the hotspot is Joe, a hermit who lived here with his goats.

The beaches along the Monterey peninsula have a very white sand due to the white rocks and sea shells it's made of.

Ghost Trees at Pescadero Point

Highlight • Viewpoint

Pescadero Point is a fantastic spot to view the ghost trees and offers spectacular ocean views, along with fascinating rock formations. This area is known for its legendary big waves, which can reach heights of up to 50 feet (15 meters) in the winter, but it's a stunning sight to see any time of year. There is a manned gate at the entrance of the Pebble Beach Golf Course to access this location for vehicles, however, if you're on a bike you can pass for free.
