5. Scenic Drives around town
|
|
| Pacific Grove has several great scenic drives. The first is simply through historic downtown (charming shops, restaurants and cafe's and old Victorian homes). Second, is the drive down Ocean View Blvd. If you take it heading back towards Monterey, you will pass by some of the most breathtaking B&B's in the country (Green Gales Inn, Seven Gables Inn, Martine Inn) with the ocean on the other side of your view. If you take this road towards Pebble Beach, you will view some multi-million dollar ocean view homes, the rocky coast and ocean and during the right season the blooming purple ice plant. At the end, you can easily access the gateway to 17 Mile Drive. |
