This is a little bit of a drive but totally worth it. Sit outside and be there before sunset. The bagpiper plays every evening as he strolls along the golf course. Amazing views of the ocean and coast. Tell the gate at Pebble Beach you are going to Spanish Bay for dinner to make sure they don't charge you!
