Pebble Beach

Some of the most spectacular scenery on the Monterey Peninsula is found along Pebble Beach's 17-Mile Drive, a route that meanders through tall pine forests and along the rocky coast. Pebble Beach is indeed a tourist mecca, and is probably best known for its world-class resort hotels and championship golf courses. Each year, it plays host to several major events, including the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am and the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Pebble Beach is an unincorporated area, population approximately 4,500, managed by the Monterey County Board of Supervisors. It is a private community consisting of the Del Monte Forest and Pebble Beach Resorts, and is owned by The Pebble Beach Company, the only large employer in Pebble Beach. Personal and professional services account for 58% of all employment in Pebble Beach. Wholesale and retail trades account for 22%; manufacturing 13%; transportation, communications, and utilities 4%; public administration 2%; and agriculture 1%. The median age of the population is 56 years. The median income is the highest on the peninsula and is about double that of the rest of the nation.
