So since I sprained my ankle on the Climate Ride and our little hike in Big Sur caused it to blow up again, I chose a non-active activity for my next day in the Monterey Bay area. I'd never actually gone on the 17-mile drive in Pebble Beach. It seems like a bit of a scam that these rich people charge admission to drive around their gated community -- they charge cars $10! There are a few places that are pretty beautiful, but I definitely wouldn't say it is anywhere near as beautiful as Big Sur or Point Lobos. Unless you have some insane golfing interest, I don't believe I'd recommend the drive.
But if you are injured and want a few coastal views or a fairly good review of CA architecture for the last 50 years, then it isn't a bad way to spend an afternoon. I mean, if you can get past the fact that you are paying rich people to drive around their gated community.
There are loads of deer there...
