By car: most convenient — steep, narrow local roads; street parking varies; CA‑1 (Highway 1) provides direct coastal access. Rentals and private cars are the easiest way to reach nearby parks and beaches. Public transit: Monterey–Salinas Transit (MST) runs regional routes to Carmel/Monterey but service is limited; buses are available between Salinas, Monterey and parts of the Peninsula. Rideshare/taxi: widely used for short trips to Carmel village or Monterey. Walking: limited for daily errands due to terrain, but short walks to viewpoints and coastal trails are common. Bicycle: possible for experienced cyclists, but expect steep climbs and narrow shoulders on some roads.
