Good forOutdoor lovers
The bleached, wind-contorted Monterey cypress at Pescadero Point along 17-Mile Drive gave its name to something wilder than scenery: a big-wave surf break where winter swells reach extreme heights. The break later became off-limits after federal authorities ruled that personal watercraft — essential for towing surfers into waves that size — were no longer permitted in the surrounding protected marine sanctuary. The tree remains. The surf break does not.
