Things To Do
Ocean Sushi Deli
A delicious Japanese restaurant/market in Downtown Monterey. We recommend trying their udon, and be sure to grab a box of jasmine tea from the market.
Keoki's Hawaiian Barbeque
A local Hawaiian restaurant that fed us for years. Try anything on the menu, but especially their Chicken Wings, Kalua Pork, and Li Hing gummy bears.
Papa Chevo's Taco Shop
A reliable breakfast to a late-night snack--this Mexican restaurant is great for a quick, yummy meal.
The Little Swiss Café
A wonderful breakfast spot in Carmel-by-the-Sea. Nothing is better than a fresh Belgian Waffle!
Revival Ice Cream
Absolutely INSANE ice cream shop on Alvarado Street. We recommend the honeycomb ice cream in a waffle cone.
Bookworks
A cozy coffee shop + bookstore in Pacific Grove. Read a book, drink an iced latte or tea latte, and enjoy a pastry!
Intergalactic Imports
A fun comic book store at the Del Monte shopping center.
Asilomar State Beach
Enjoy the beautiful Monterey coastline (and all of the dogs) at this beach. A note--parking is free, but limited.
