It's fun just to see what you might encounter. This is a great spot for kids, but do be cautious because it is a very rocky beach and the tide pool area can be slippery. Dogs are welcome on the beach. No camping or fires are allowed. There is plenty of parking, public restrooms and a picnic area.
Pebble Beach is a great place to spend a day exploring nature.
Another spot in the area worth checking out is Ano Nuevo State Reserve. It is about ten miles south of Pebble Beach off Highway 1. There is a three mile hike to reach the beach, but it is home to sea lions and seals, which is an amazing sight. The best time to go is December through February. Attractions Pebbles, tide pools.
