The Pacific Coastline

Time for a long delayed short travel. 60 miles drive away from the Bay Area on the 101 Freeway is what it took to come near the west coast of America. This is called the 17 Mile Drive.



The blue Pacific waves.



A pet dog enjoying the spray.



Unidentified dead marine creatures washed away onto the shores. There were lots of these.



I have never seen as many rocky formations as these on the shorelines in any of the few beaches I have visited in India.




Huge crashing waves on the rocks creating a wonderful spray.





This is the Bird Rock which is one of the many attractions of the 17 mile Drive.








A Cypress tree along the drive.



The Pebble beach Golf resorts offers a scenic course on which any Golfer would love to have game.


Colorful native wild flowers along the beach.





The Pebble Beach with its white sand dotted with washed away vegetation and dead marine creatures.


One of the many groves of the tall Monterey Cypress Trees. Some of these are nearly 300 years old.


The Ghost Tree Point.








The Lone Cypress is the most popular attraction of the 17 mile Drive.



This tree has weathered the elements of nature and has prevailed on the rocky perch for over 250 years and is considered as the symbol of this place.








It was a refreshing ocean experience along the Pacific Coast.
