This is certainly true of 17-Mile Drive in Pebble Beach, California. Here, the asphalt passes windswept cypress trees, rocky outcrops, famous golf courses, and the white sands of Spanish Bay.
A portion of Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu has been closed due to a mudslide in the Palisades Fire burn scar.
Tracing the rugged Pacific coastline, the 17-Mile Drive isn't just a road. The route offers breathtaking views of the ocean, hugging the Pacific coastline as it weaves through the Del Monte Forest.
Be warned. It can be 80 degrees up the road in Monterey and be 15 degrees cooler on Spanish Bay off of the 17-mile drive.
