Del Monte Forest (population 5,840) is the unincorporated jewel of the Peninsula, more commonly known as Pebble Beach. A refuge for wildlife as well as its privileged residents, Pebble Beach is home to the Lone Cypress, miles of breath-taking shoreline, scenic 17-Mile Drive, the Robert Louis Stevenson School and several championship golf courses. Pebble Beach is a privately maintained, gated community and home to some of the Peninsula's most exclusive properties.
