In A Nutshell:

-Del Monte Beach is an awesome beach. -Small in size, yet big in privacy. -If you are looking for a nice, tucked away beach, then this is it. -You'll be away from the big Monterey Beach crowds. -You can also bring your dog(s) to this beach. -Please make sure you respect the neighborhood while you drive through and park. -It's highly advisable to come here during the early morning, like 7am early if you want to ensure an enjoyable time w/ maximum privacy.
