This world-famous scenic route winds along the Monterey Peninsula, offering access to some of California’s most iconic coastal landscapes; from wind-swept cypress trees and dramatic cliffs to historic mansions and manicured golf courses. The route is fully paved and suitable for most riders, with a mix of mild climbs and breezy downhills. While the route is open to vehicles and requires a small fee for cars, cyclists can enter for free at any of the gated entrances. Whether you ride it as a peaceful morning loop or pair it with other Monterey-area trails, the 17-Mile Drive is a must for anyone looking to soak in the charm of California’s central coast by bike.
