On my second day in Monterey, my mom and I decided to explore Carmel and Pebble Beach. Honestly, neither of us were excited by Carmel. The town itself is similar to other very wealthy communities, much like Kennebunkport, Maine or Greenwich, Connecticut. We
had lunch in Carmel and quickly left. At first, we were tempted to return to Monterey, but we hesitantly decided to do the 17 Mile Drive in Pebble Beach. We were so glad we did! We were dying to see some seals and sea lions. Well, we did better than that! Along the 17 Mile Drive, we came across a seal rescue relief group that was releasing a
group of twelve seals and sea lions! It was so cool! We continued on the drive and saw breathtaking views. My dad has always said how beautiful Pebble Beach was, but I don't think my mom and I understood until we actually saw the area. Every corner we would take there would be another beautiful view. Of course, the best part of the 17 Mile Drive is the last point on the drive...The Lodge at Pebble Beach. Pebble Beach Golf Resort is made up of a few different golf courses, but of course the one everyone is familiar with is the Pebble Beach Course, which is home to the famous golf championship. My mom and I walked right through the Lodge and got a beautiful view of the 18th hole of the golf course. The entire Monterey Peninsula is a beautiful area!
