NileGuide Expert tip:
Suggest heading out early to beat the crowds. Definitely take at a leisurely place, stopping as often as possible to bask in the scenery. A great place to watch the sunset.Description:
Seventeen miles you wish never ended. 17 Mile Drive has been called "beautiful and isolating" and "breathtaking." For a $9.50 fee, you are granted access to a veritable sanctuary of natural beauty. Seventeen Mile winds along the coast, which thanks to strict regulations has been kept pristine and unadulterated. There are tons of spots to pull over and take a stroll onto the beach and epic turn outs to take pictures. It also travels through a residential area that houses some of the most beautiful homes in California. Overall, 17 Mile Drive is a peaceful oasis and won't be soon forgotten.
