Stillwater Carmel

Enter at Pebble Beaches 17 mile gate.  There is a fee.  Currently $8.75.  Includes access to the rest rooms.  Follow the red line downhill towards the Lodge at Pebble Beach, spa, Coastal Access and Beach Club.  As you are driving past golfing grass you will see the small road to the left.  The sign is clear but not large.  You drive further towards the water than you might think taking another left turn towards the coastal access.

After you unload at the pier drive your vehicle back the way you came and park on the otherside of that first golfing lawn on your left.

Coastal access is east of the pier.  West of the pier is private pebble beach sand.

Here is Scuba Monterey's webpage describing access

Here is what was said during coastal commission review.

entry to DMF still does not
show Stillwater Cove access
point and brochure text
describing access as shown in
LCP was very small font
which is very hard to read;
brochure indicates two
parking areas for Stillwater
Cove and says to utilize the
parking areas guests must
make advanced reservations:
“advanced reservation
entitles the user to free
parking in one of the sixteen
reserved spaces and the
opportunity to enter the
Beach & Tennis Club parking
lot for equipment drop
off/pickup.” Based on LUP
map, and Spanish Bay and
Casa Palmero permits,
supposed to now have 6
reservable and 10 first-come
first-served public coastal
access parking spaces.
Change text to read
“Maintain public access to
Stillwater Cove pier and
beach south of pier though
Beach Club parking lot.
Provide and maintain
public access signage along
Palmero Way and Cypress
Drive to clearly indicate
that access to Stillwater
Cove is through the Beach
and Tennis Club parking
lots, and to identify public
parking locations,
including coastal public
access spaces provided at
the 17th tee and Tennis
Club parking lots;” revise
Figure 15 in LUP to show
pedestrian route to
Stillwater Cove, consistent
with Appendix B map;
revise map handout
distributed at entrance
gates to include Stillwater
Cove access point; number
Stillwater Cove access
point in a manner similar to
all other access points, and
provide information for use
in same size font used for
other access points.

There are only 6 parking spots there, no?  Is there any other parking nearby if those 6 are all filled up?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That was why I posted the observations and conclusions of the coastal commission.  There are 6 reservable spaces and 10 more first come first take spaces.  If you get there at 6 to fish, we have our choice of spaces.........

they closed off the parking area today.  When they do that they are okay with parking by the beach club.   Steve
