Set on the Monterey Peninsula where the Del Monte Forest meets the Pacific Ocean, Pebble Beach is an idyllic haven. It is a place of sweeping beaches and aquamarine waters, of sea lions, sea otters, pods of migrating whales, and low-flying pelicans scanning the water for anchovies and squid. The cool Pacific air keeps temperatures so delightfully moderate that golfers can wear slacks and sweater vests all year long.
