Drove to this area to enjoy the quintessential Monterey Peninsula stop. An icon and must-see of this area. COVID has reduced the crowds, so a stop was timely and enjoyable.

Bird Rock Vista Point

Reviewed By mini - Fremont, United States

Birds love this area. One of the best places to see them is at Bird Rock Vista Point on 17 mile drive in Carmel. Although the parking area was closed (due to covid), we still liked seeing them as we drove to lunch at Roy's.

I challenge anyone to sit for a while looking at this view and not feel their blood pressure lower and tranquility sneak in. Watching and listening to the ocean is one of life’s pleasures.

We were driving on 17 mile drive to lunch at Roy's. As part of this trip we enjoyed a return look at Fanshell Overview. We love the amazing views of the Pacific Ocean. There is also a nice fan shell shape beach area

China Rock

Reviewed By wireless_in_CA

Stop number 6 gave us the opportunity to get out of the car and scramble over a bunch of rocks. This stop was noted as a small Chinese fishing village back in the 1800s. No remnants remain just blackened rocks likely due to the cooking fires. As we got closer to the edge of the rocks by the ocean we peered into some of the tide pools hoping to see some sea life. However they were surprisingly barren for some reason. We did find a couple of rocks comfortable enough to sit down and watch the waves come rolling in for a little while. Being low tide and calm, the action was relatively benign that morning. As we made our way back to the car, we noticed a ton of mussel shells littering the beach so something found this place to be a good source of food and the feasting has been ongoing for quite awhile. Worth a stop for its accessible rocky setting.

Huckleberry Hill

Reviewed By wireless_in_CA

Huckleberry Hill was stop #2 and the highest point in the 17 mile drive. Our morning visit was shrouded in fog and obscured the views that could have extended up to Santa Cruz (from what we were told). Nonetheless it was scenic. We walked down the path towards the tree line. It was rutted but easy to navigate. Worth the short hike if you want to get out of your car.
