Final thoughts :

If you are doing 17 Miles Drive, you can include Carmel-by-the-sea in your itinerary.  It is just 20 mins drive from 17 Miles.  If you love dogs, this is the place for you to see various type of species parading with their owners.

Weather in the winter is still pretty warm but the sea water is pretty cold.  You will see people jog, hike and surf in this beach.  Watching the sunset is not a bad idea to end you day after 17 Miles Drive.

Oh how beautiful! I don’t understand the 17 mile drive unless it is the actual distance however, that 2 miles of a curve around the ocean is breath taking. Cottages rather than houses the whole area sounds so quaint.

I once took the scenic 17-mile drive. I still have photos of the Cypress tree that is no longer there.

Stunning beach view! It’s been months since I last visited the beach, and I can’t wait for my son’s school break for some much needed beach getaway. 🙂

Oh yes! We are actually going there in a couple of weeks for a bike show. It’s truly lovely there! But I had no idea Clint Eastwood was mayor! Wow! That’s awesome!

Carmel and the 17 mile drive in Northern California is one of the most scenic destinations in Cali! I agree with you: the homes there are lovely and charming providing candy for our eyes.
