We spent an incredible day exploring the California mid-coast area.
First we had breakfast at the Tuck Box, a cute little restaurant in Carmel, then we strolled around the town and visited some of the shops. We had been here last year but didn’t remember how cute the town is, with decorated walkways and lots of flowers everywhere.
Next up was the 17 Mile Drive on the Monterey Peninsula, a great drive with many incredible views! The views we enjoyed most were all along the coast, so we do think they could cut it in half and call it the 8 Mile Drive!
The most well known destination along this drive is the world famous Pebble Beach Golf Links, long known as an iconic championship venue and one of the most beautiful golf courses in the world. We’re not golfers but it was cool to see!
On the way back to Marina we stopped at Dametra, a Mediterranean restaurant, and had a fantastic dinner!!

Thanks and yes! We were here last year too and ate at a restaurant that he used to own. Although he had sold it to new owners, it still had pictures and memorabilia all over. The area is also known all over the world for the Monterey Jazz Festival, which was coming up soon after we left – his son is a world renown jazz player and was one of the headliners this year.
