This
spectacularly fun land tour begins in downtown Monterey where one
of our most historic sites, Colton Hall, has stood in as a girls
boarding school in the movie A Summer Place and a court house
in the movie The Big Bounce. Our Fisherman's Wharf area has
been used for scenes in several movies including I Cover the
Waterfront, Play Misty for Me, The Candidate and
P.K. & the Kid.
Travel through
historic Cannery Row that has been the setting for many movies over
the years including Clash by Night starring Marilyn Monroe
and Barbara Stanwyck, and a few scenes in the movie, you guessed
it, Cannery Row! Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home was
filmed at our world-famous Monterey Bay Aquarium where Humpback
whales where held in captivity.... no, just kidding here! Only Hollywood
and the magic of special effects can make that happen!
Lookout onto
Monterey Bay where sailing scenes were filmed in the movies Captains
Courageous and Mutiny on the Bounty. And, least we forget
one of our most memorable movies... Monster from the Ocean Floor
(once you've seen this monster you'll see why it should have been
left on the cutting room floor)!
View the City
of Pacific Grove and its majestic coastline that was turned into
the fictitious town of "Cypress Grove" in the movie Turner
& Hooch. The resort seen in A Summer Place is also located
in this picturesque coastal community.
Things really
get busy on 17-MILE DRIVE® in Pebble Beach. The magnificent beauty
of this coastline has been used in many action driving scenes in
such movies as My Favorite Brunette, Julie, Chandler,
The Big Bounce, The Parent Trap, My Blood Runs
Cold, Susan Slade and many more! Several scenes have
been filmed in and around homes situated along this unbelievably
scenic drive.
The Lodge
at Pebble Beach and the legendary Pebble Beach Golf Links have been
the location for memorable scenes in such movies as National
Velvet, Julie, Follow the Sun, The Ghost &
Mrs. Muir and In Love and War.
Travel
through the charming little hamlet of Carmel-by-the-Sea. The downtown
and residential areas of this quaint little resort community has
been used for scenes in It Seems Like Old Times, The Lady
Says No, A Summer Place, Play Misty for Me and others!
Watch the
actual scenes where they were originally filmed on overhead monitors
inside our luxury high-back seat tour coach.

Tour Duration and
Stops
The tour is
approximately three hours in length, depending on traffic
conditions. All three of our stops are made on 17-MILE DRIVE® in
Pebble Beach.
Our
first stop is at Bird Rock,
the largest rock just offshore on the Monterey Peninsula and a
resting place for many of our wonderful marine mammals including
Harbor Seals, Sea Lions and our precious little Sea Otters. A
variety of birds including Black Brandt Cormorants and Pelicans can
usually be spotted on the rock or frolicking in the waters just
offshore. Love scenes between Sandra Dee and Troy Donahue in the
movie
"A Summer Place" took place on the beach in front of
the rock.

Our
second stop is at the
Lone Cypress Tree, one of the most treasured landmarks along
California's coastline. This magnificent tree is one of the most
photographed in the world and is more than 260 years old. This tree
has been used as a scenic backdrop in several movies filmed on the
Monterey Peninsula.

to walk out onto the back deck of the Lodge to view one of the

Pebble Beach Golf Links. Several movie scenes have been filmed
at the Lodge and on the 18th hole of this great golf course.
