The John Denver Memorial is a sad reminder of one of the biggest tragedies in the American Music Industry with the death of John Denver who was not only known for his singing and songwriting but also known as being an environmental activist and a humanitarian. His plane crashed in Monterey Bay on October 12, 1997. The memorial is a way to celebrate his incredible legacy as you reflect upon the fantastic ocean views, a fitting tribute for the singer and songwriter. Even if you weren’t a fan this location is lovely along the coast between Pacific Grove and Asilomar. Admission to the memorial is free.

Even the lens is original. The lighthouse is situated on the south entrance to the Monterey Bay, which makes this a great place to scan the horizon for migrating whales!

Point Joe



Point Joe is the 5th point on 17-Mile Drive. Its coastline is made of Granite rocks formed 65 million years back and it gives this coastline a rugged look. The place had several shipwrecks in history due to its rocky shares and its location near to Monterey Bay. About the origin of the name Point Joe, there is debate over that for years now. Some historians believe that there was a Chinese man who lived in a driftwood structure here in the early 1900’s that sold goods to explorers. It is unclear whether Point Joe was named for the Chinese man or if the man was named after the location. A great place to look out for everyone’s favorite marine mammal, the Souther Sea Otter.
