Pacific Grove, better known by locals as "America's last hometown," is also known for its thriving population of Monarch butterflies. A walk through the residential neighborhoods reveals many well-preserved, turn of the century, Victorian homes. History buffs can visit the Point Piños Lighthouse, the oldest operating facility of its kind on the California coast. The Monterey Bay recreational trail passes by Lover's Point, offering many opportunities to view sea otters, sea lions and occasionally passing whales.
Pebble Beach is a gated community located between Carmel-by-the-Sea and Pacific Grove. Its 17-Mile Drive draws hundreds of visitors daily where views of the ocean, cypress trees, fabulous houses and deer, not to mention the world's most dramatic golf courses, are truly breathtaking. |
