17-Mile Drive
the lone-cypress coastal loop through Pebble Beach
17-Mile Drive is one of the places Roamward flags on the Pacific Coast Highway because it gives the drive its texture: the lone-cypress coastal loop through Pebble Beach. Use it as a planned pull-over instead of letting the route become a blur between towns.
How it fits the drive
The PCH (Highway 1) runs Dana Point → Leggett, CA. California’s cliff-hugging coast drive.
Nearby route stops
- Hearst Castle — a hilltop Gilded-Age palace above San Simeon (PCH (Highway 1))
Conditions, access, parking, fees, weather, and seasonal closures can change quickly on scenic routes. Check the managing agency or local visitor information before committing to a side stop.
