Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Beth Fisher and Jaime Torres
There is SO MUCH to do, especially if you are a nature lover. We've added some of our favorites and places we've heard good things about. Closest and "easiest" things are toward the top.

Monterey Bay Aquarium

886 Cannery Row, Monterey, CA 93940
, (831) 648-4800

Point Lobos State Natural Reserve

62 California 1, Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA 93923
, (831) 624-4909

This is one of my favorite places ever (pictured at the top of this page). It is just south of the beach the where the wedding will be held. If you're not into hiking, drive in and park in the various lots for short walkabouts (but parking can be limited, so either early or late is recommended on the weekend). If you want a good walk, you can park outside on Highway 1 and walk in. It'll just take you a while of walking through a lovely forest to get to the breathtaking ocean views.

Lover's Point Beach

Pacific Grove, CA 93950
, (831) 648-3130

This is just a pretty lookout point/beach that connects to a pleasant walking trail along the water. You can kayak from here, as well.

Old Fisherman's Wharf

1 Old Fisherman’s Wharf, Monterey, CA 93940
, (831) 238-0777

For all the clam chowder, tourist shops, and sea lions your heart desires.

Carmel Mission Basilica Museum

3080 Rio Road, Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA 93923
, (831) 624-1271

Get a little history in...

Wine Tasting

Carmel Valley, CA

There are lots of places around to taste wine if you're so inclined. The website above has a few listed. We don't know any specific ones to recommend.

17 Mile Drive

17 Mile Drive, Del Monte Forest, CA

Admission to 17-Mile Drive is $10.75 per vehicle. The gate fee is reimbursed with a purchase of $35 or more at all Pebble Beach Resorts restaurants, excluding Pebble Beach Market. Admission is complimentary for overnight guests of The Lodge at Pebble Beach, The Inn at Spanish Bay and Casa Palmero. The 17-Mile Drive gates are open to the public from sunrise to sunset. Motorcycles are prohibited.

Palo Corona Regional Park

California 1, Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA 93923
, (831) 372-3196

This is a giant park full of trails that basically start where the wedding reception will be held. We haven't explored the trails ourselves, yet.

First Awakenings (for Brunch)

300 David Avenue, Monterey, CA 93940
, (831) 372-1125

This is one of our favorite brunch places. Their pancakes are ridiculous (Razamatazz being our family favorite), and I could just eat plates of their cheesy mushroom caps and calamari steak.

Garrapata State Park

34500 California 1, Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA 93923
, (831) 624-4909

We've never been here, but have heard great things!

Big Sur

CA

This famously beautiful section of the California Coast is fun to explore if you have the time.

For all the days along the way
