The start of 17-Mile Drives takes you through great stands of cypress trees where you cycle down an incline until you reach the coast and then it’s just beach, pounding surf, sea lions on rocks, a few multi-million dollar houses and golf greens for the remainder of the ride. This bike ride is not for bikers in a hurry, it was difficult to make good time on the route because it’s so darn gorgeous! We continually stopped to take photos, gaze at the spectacular views along the coast and snapping least a million selfies. We also discovered, to our delight that if you’re walking or biking the route, you get into 17-Mile Drive for free, bonus!Ī Bike Ride From Monterey to 17-Mile Drive We found out that bike trail in Monterey takes you all the way to Pacific Grove, where you’re on the town roads for a short time until you reach the 17-Mile Drive Gate Entrance off of Sunset Drive.
The company supplied us with decent bikes, maps of the route and plenty of great advice. We started right in the center of Monterey since we were picking up some bike rentals from Adventures by the Sea on Cannery Row. This incredibly beautiful bike route winds its way around the coastline of the Monterey Peninsula and our total 17-Mile bike ride time was about half a day to leisurely make our way from Monterey to Pebble Beach. It was one of the best experiences during our visit to California. During our Monterey Girls Getaway, we decided to spend the day biking along 17-Mile Drive located north of the city at Pacific Grove.
