4 Visitor Information A Little more than 2 hours south of San Francisco and near Carmel by The Sea; Pebble Beach Resort is a private oasis where some of the most wealthy American families own villas along one of the most scenic drives in the world, the 17-Mile Drive. Near to Pebble Beach are Monterey Aquarium, the charming town of Carmel and the Big Sur cliffs, described as the greatest meeting of land and water in the world, you may wish to visit them on the free day in the program, unless the devils of golf drive you to try the courses of Poppy Hills and Carmel Valley Ranch among others! The climate is the same in all seasons and near to that of Brittany in France. Bright and sunny spells with a maximum temperature of 24, some gusts of wind and a few showers but this unique environment will not fail to delight you. Wish to extend your trip?

5 The Hotel The Inn at Spanish Bay (*****) : The Pebble Beach Resort is a large estate situated along the famous 17-Mile Drive and made up of two hotels (The Lodge and The Inn at Spanish Bay) and of the three golf courses that you will play. For the third year running we have reserved The Inn at Spanish Bay. The reasons for this are its position facing the ocean and the Spanish Bay course as well as the large rooms and extensive choice of bars and restaurants. Meet each evening for cocktails round the outdoor fire-pits and enjoy in pure Scottish tradition the bagpiper, who closes the course for the night (6-7pm) and an ethereal atmosphere.
