3. Oceanview Blvd

   • Pacific Grove, USA
   • Sights › Beach

   Appropriately named Oceanview Blvd affords fine views from Lover's Point west to Point Pinos. Here the road becomes the again appropriately named Sunset Dr with numerous turn-outs where you can enjoy the pounding surf, rocky outcrops and teaming tidal pools. The entire route is great for walking or cycling and many think it surpasses the 17-Mile Drive for beauty.
