Fan Shell Beach

Highlight • Beach

The beaches along the Monterey peninsula have a very white sand due to the white rocks and sea shells it's made of.

China Rock, located on 17-Mile Drive, offers bikers a scenic view of the Pacific Ocean. Once home to a small Chinese fishing village in the late 1800s, it is now a peaceful spot to enjoy the rocky coastline. Situated near Point Joe and Bird Rock, China Rock is a great place to stretch your legs, breathe in the ocean air, and appreciate the area's historical significance as well as the natural beauty.

Probably the oldest building in all of California is here at the customs house, where the first Spanish harbor developed in what was then the undeveloped province of Alta California in the 1770s, a backwater of their Mexico colony.

Fishermans Wharf

The wooden former landing docks of the historically important fishing fleet have been converted to a shopping and dining tourist attraction. Like in San Francisco, the wharf is also a good place to watch seals and sailboats.
