Olivia Wilder: Avoid the 17 Mile Drive on weekends and during events (golf, Concours D'Elegance, etc.) Be sure to stop and explore. There isn't a part that isn't beautiful!
Terri O'Brien: One of the most beautiful places on earth. Bring telescope lens to take pictures of the sea lions. Limestone type trail leads you to a great sea lion viewing area!
Audi: Go south from Monterey all the way down to Hearst Castle. Two lane. Cliffside. Sea and surf. White knuckles. Scenery so good for once it might be better to be the passenger.
