Highlights
  • Carmel Beach - This is a short roll down the hill from the shop as a reward for your dog trying out this new sidecar experience, and what a reward it is! This leash-free beach full of dogs is on every dog’s bucket list. There’s also a packed DG trail looking down above the pristine, white sands.
  • Scenic Road Walkway - The most beautiful one-way road along the Carmel coastline. We’ll pass the only coastal design by mid-century modern architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, the Custer-Meyer and and poet Robinson Jeffers’ Tor House made of river-rock, the first original 100-year-old houses here.
  • Carmel River State Beach - This is another opportunity to maximize the California beach experience on a beach sandwiched by dynamic ocean waves and a calm, clear, fresh lagoon the river created. A bird haven, and therefore, a dog’s ultimate joy! We’ll look across the lagoon at Clint Eastwood’s Mission Ranch, the 175yo original dairy farm for the whole peninsula, and our next stop.
  • Carmel Mission - We will pause at the beautiful and historic Carmel Mission Basilica, the crown jewel of the California Missions.
  • Mission Trail Nature Preserve - This part of the route takes us offroad away from city and residential and through nature. We will really appreciate the motors on the electric bikes. We may stop and stand amongst tall Coastal Redwoods or stroll on a narrow trail if you like. Our egress is at Flanders Mansion.
  • Fairy Tale Cottages of Hugh Comstock - As we make our way back through Carmel-by-the-Sea on our way to Pebble Beach, we can get a most memorable photo opp of your dog in the sidecar in front of these life-size dollhouses.
  • 17-Mile Drive - We are proud to be the only e-bike tour experience in Carmel and Monterey that includes your furry best friend on our special sidecars. This tour includes the $12 17-Mile Drive Entrance Fee.

  • Seal Rock Creek beach - Enjoy the beautiful view!

  • Fanshell Overlook - Look for the sea otters at this beautiful lookout!
  • Cypress Point Lookout - On a clear day, you can see the Point Sur Lighthouse in Big Sur 30 miles away! You may see Harbor Seals and Sea Otters here, maybe even whale spouts.
  • Lone Cypress - The historically famous 300-year-old logo of The Pebble Beach Club!
  • Ghost Tree - The views of Point Lobos and Carmel from here are amazing!
  • Pebble Beach Golf Links - We will pause by the famous Lodge for a chance to view the 18th hole, shops, restaurants, market, and visitor center as you like.
