Beach Rides
Take in the beuty of shore birds in flight as you wind your way along lush, plant-covered sand dunes. In a short time you find yourself on a beautiful beach along the shoreline located at the heart of the Monterey Bay. Most days offer stunning views from Santa Cruz to Monterey. We can accommodate riders of at least 8 years of age and up. SORRY, NO DOUBLES.
Horse Drawn Carriages
For over twenty years now we have offered a very unique service to the central coast, our horse-drawn carriage service. We have a number of carriages from which to choose. From a surrey that can carry 2 guests to a wagonette that carries up to 12 guests. The very well maintained vehicles and horses, highly polished harnesses and turn-of-the-century tuxedos give your event a true touch of class. All of our carriages are clean & suitable transportation for even the most well-dressed of guests. These carriages have been seen everywhere, from the small streets of Carmel-by-the-Sea to the busy arteries of Main St. and Alisal St. in Salinas. The horses are very friendly and are used to loud music, dancing, curious guests and even bagpipes. The driver and assistant can be dressed in western attire or turn-of-the-century tuxedo and top hat. For the finest horsedrawn carriage ride in Central California call Monterey Bay Equestrian Center.
