Explore the Wharf! Lots of restaurants, shopping, and activities like whale watching or sailing. Only a few minutes walk from the hotels.
This is one of the most beautiful scenic coastal routes in the world!! You can drive a portion of this route or drive the whole thing! There is an entrance fee of about 10$ to access. It takes you along the coast with multiple lookouts along the way. Highly recommend!
Take a 15-20 minute drive to Carmel Valley for some wine tasting! Folktale is one of the first stops along the way to Carmel Valley downtown area. Start here, and hop to some other wine tasting locations like Cowgirl Winery, Georis Winery, Bernardus Winery, and so many more! Make sure to uber because those wine tastings sneak up on you!
If you are in town for a few days, you may want to head over to Carmel to check out their downtown area. There are many restaurants, bars, beautiful beaches, and shopping. Carmel is only 15 minutes from Monterey.
Some might say this is the greatest meeting of land and sea, the historically famous Pebble Beach Golf Links.
If Pebble Beach is the greatest meeting of land and sea, then perhaps Spyglass Hill should be dubbed the greatest meeting of sand and trees.
Not even Bryant Gumbel could get on this course. Good luck.
The poor man's Pebble Beach Golf Links. You're welcome.
