Walking and biking distance from us... The coastal portion of 17 mile drive is the most beautiful drive in the world! The #1 most photographed tree- the Lone Cypress, is perched on a rugged cliff above the ocean off of this scenic route. Note: Early mornings are typically less crowded with tourists.
