Pebble Beach
Access: various points
The surfing community is a close-knit and
tight-lipped bunch. That's why the notorious
Ghost Tree surf break in Pebble Beach is pretty
much a mystery. The monstrous waves that
make this place legendary (and in at least one
case, fatal) only materialize when conditions
are just right, and surfing it is highly dangerous
in many ways, not the least of which is the
fact that if a surfer wipes out, they're on the
rocks. Literally.
More accessible is Stillwater Cove, adjacent
to the Pebble Beach and Tennis Club. This bucol-
ic bay is a favorite spot for kayaking and diving,
both by appointment only. A bonus for divers is
that the seabed is littered with errant golf balls
from the nearby Pebble Beach Golf Links.
