- Point Pinos Lighthouse (1855) - The Monterey tour proceeds around the Point Pinos Bend, where the famous lighthouse is explored.
- Kissing Rock View Point - Look out for the next sight: the Kissing Rock!
This isn’t actually a rock. It’s a natural formation of two granite rocks that have gradually fused together. Since they appear to be kissing, this spot was officially named “The Kissing Rock” in April 1970.
- Asilomar State Beach - The drive continues along Asilomar Beach, known for its tidepools, which are full of life.

- Point Joe - Point Joe is notorious for numerous shipwrecks. From the outside, this stretch of beach appears to be the entrance to the Monterey Bay harbor. In reality, the beach has a rocky underwater lining that unsuspecting ships often crashed upon. Monterey’s foggy weather certainly didn’t help matters!
- China Rock - The next stop on the 17 Mile Drive tour is China Rock. This was the exact location of a small fishing village from the 1800s. Marks from 1800s cooking smoke can still be seen on the rocks!
- Bird Rock Vista Point - This rock is a favorite resting spot for local wildlife. Situated in a small cove at one of the best vantage points in the entire bay, it’s home to harbor seals, sea lions, and many birds. If visiting between November and March, the distant spouts of migrating grey whales might be visible! Keep a camera and binoculars ready.
- Seal Rock Creek Beach - This leads to Bird Rock and Seal Rock, both bustling with life. Learn to distinguish between seals and sea lions, and identify some of the area’s most common birds.
