What you will visit:
Monterey
Captivating Monterey is one of California's most gorgeous coastal cities. Known for its spectacular shoreline, Monterey delights inland as well with a host of historic buildings, a world-class aquarium, wonderful museums and the iconic Fisherman's Wharf and Cannery Row with their salty charm straight out of a John Steinbeck novel. Alvarado Street is the downtown area's "main drag," lined with unique shops, trendy restaurants dishing up popular specialties such as sand dabs and artichokes, and lively bars serving wines from local vineyards. And nearby, Carmel, the famous 17-Mile Drive, Pacific Grove and Pebble Beach add a ritzy glow to Monterey's patina. The Monterey Peninsula has the largest population of sea otters on the California coast plus additional marine life best seen from one of two piers and a breakwater that offer excellent viewing of seals, sea lions and migrating whales, which can be seen offshore in the spring and fall months.
