The Beautiful Pacific!
This was the stunning view of the Pacific we enjoyed for the wedding we attended on Saturday at the Ragged Point Inn. Unfortunately, the fog never lifted the entire time we were there. We've asked the couple to get married again. :-)

McWay Falls
One of the prettiest little waterfalls you'll ever see, we were unfortunate that the weather was so dreary. This is within the Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park.

Seventeen Mile Drive
The Links at Spanish Bay
If you take this drive, plan on a minimum of 2-3 hours; the first part of the ride is not close to the ocean, but once you hit the pacific, you'll be stopping frequently to enjoy and photograph the spectacular views.
Towards the end of the drive, just past the Lone Cyprus and right at Pebble Beach, there's a small business area with a nice deli. Save all your receipts, if you spend more than $25 (?), you can get a refund of the toll you paid ($9.50, IIRC) to enter the drive.
