Lots of "pet friendly" outdoor seating is available. |

| Pacific Grove - "The Last Home Town" |
 |
| Explore the charming downtown area of Pacific Grove. Pacific Grove (frequently shorted to P.G.) has a unique downtown area with shops and restaurants. There are several Victorian homes that have been converted to businesses. Enjoy the small town community feel - no shopping malls and chain stores here. The downtown is mainly small businesses. |
 |
| Pacific Grove is a hidden jewel on the Peninsula. Many tourists miss P.G. and limit themselves to the better known Carmel area. But they just don't know what they are missing! |

| Pebble Beach, CA. |
 Pebble Beach is a small gated community with great golf courses and scenery. Current gate fee is $9.25 but is free for bicyclists. You will receive a map of the attractions along 17 mile drive. If you know someone there you can have them call the gate and get you in for free. If you have not driven or biked the famous "Seventeen Mile Drive", then you are missing out. The coastline is incredible with lots of wild life. You may want to time your visit to watch the sunset at a number of incredible locations. Be prepared to stop often and take alot of photos! |

| Carmel, California |
 A visit to Carmel, California is not complete without walking (or driving) down the hill from town to the beach at the foot of Ocean Ave. This is a great, wide sandy beach for walking or walking your dog. Carmel is an especially dog friendly area and dogs are allowed to roam off leash on the beach. The beach is sloped and shaped like an ampitheatre. Come early to get a "good seat" to watch the evening show - when the sun sets over the water. Locals and tourists alike sit and watch the gorgeous sunsets here. You may see locals strolling thru the neighborhood, glass of wine in hand, making their way to the beach for the show. Sometimes when it is an especially good sunset - people clap. Thank you God! |
Before or after the "show" stroll thru the downtown area and check out the shops. There are a number of unique local shops. The buildings are quaint, lots of flowers and charm.  |
Don't miss stopping in Carmel Plaza which has 40 shops, boutiques and cafes. The flowers are incredible here.
