Point Lobos State Natural Reserve

Drove to 17-mile drive first. It was unfortunate we could not go through 17 mile due to the golf competition. They close the road all way through Pebble Beach during tournament.
Point Lobos State Natural Reserve is about fifteen minutes from the 17-mile drive.
I fall in love with this place. What a great park! Stunning scenery and lots of wildlife.

Wildlife includes seals, sea lions, sea otters and migrating gray whales ( from December to May). Thousands of seabirds also make the reserve their home. Hiking trails follow the shoreline and lead to hidden coves. There are no words to describe the beauty of this place.

The coast is beautiful, the water is crystal clear. What else could you ask for?

This is an amazing park with many short and easy hiking trails.
