Description:

Escape the big city for a trip along the charming Monterey Peninsula via the Pacific Coast Highway. Enjoy stunning seascape views, the famous Monterey Bay Aquarium, and Steinbeck's Cannery Row as you cruise the famous 17-Mile Drive heading to the coastal town of Carmel-by-the-Sea.

Stop at historic Cannery Row—John Steinbeck’s novel of the same name takes place on this street during the Great Depression—for a visit to the world-famous Monterey Bay Aquarium. See over 30,000 strange and colorful underwater creatures, from good-natured sea otters and turtles to powerful sharks and the rare and massive ocean sunfish.

Cruise along the scenic and celebrated 17-Mile Drive, home to the world-renowned Pebble Beach Golf Course. Admire the Lone Cypress—this postcard-worthy tree stands on a rugged granite outpost amid the waves—and scope out the area’s magnificent mansions with their sweeping coastal views. Stop along the way to snap photos of the seals basking in the sun on the aptly-named Seal Rock.

Finally, head to enchanting Carmel-by-the-Sea, whose charming downtown shopping district, charming beaches, and historic mission make this one of the most beloved destinations along the coast. Spend some time popping into unique boutiques and art galleries before returning to San Francisco via Silicon Valley.
