You start with the ocean to your left and the Del Monte Forest to your right — the road narrows, the air tastes of salt and pine, and the Pacific dares you to look away. The famed 17-Mile Drive unfolds like a coastal chapter: granite headlands, wind-sculpted cypress, and sudden vistas where surf hammers out of hidden coves.
easy.
2–3 hours.
Minimal fitness required; short, mostly flat walks from pullouts — suitable for most visitors
No — the tour is app-guided only; the vehicle entry fee (roughly $11.25 per vehicle) is separate and payable at the gate.
Most private app-guided runs take 2–3 hours if you stop at multiple viewpoints; you can extend time as desired within park hours.
Pets are generally allowed in vehicles and some outdoor areas, but must be leashed and kept out of sensitive dunes and fairways; service animals are permitted.
Many roadside pullouts and viewpoints have paved access, but some lookout trails are uneven — check specific stops in the Pintours App for accessibility details.
The 17‑Mile Drive was developed in the late 1800s as a scenic link between resorts and estates; Pebble Beach and its courses have shaped the area’s recreational identity for over a century.
The Del Monte Forest and shoreline are protected by private and public trusts — stick to pullouts and paths, pack out trash, and avoid disturbing nesting birds or tidepool life.
Pintours operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
