Things To Do
Cannery Row
Strolling down Cannery Row together is always a favorite Monterey tradition for us. Grab a coffee, explore the cute shops, and soak in the ocean views—bonus points if you spot a sea lion!
Old Fisherman's Wharf
The perfect place for a casual seafood stop and a fun walk along the pier. We love grabbing a bowl of clam chowder and watching the boats go by. If you have time, book a whale-watching tour—it’s magical!
Lovers Point Park
A place that means so much to us! This is one of our favorite sunset spots, and it’s the perfect place to relax, rent a kayak, or just take in the ocean breeze.
Point Lobos State Natural Reserve
One of our favorite hikes! We’ve spent hours walking these scenic trails, spotting sea otters, and taking in the jaw-dropping ocean views. If you love nature, you’ll fall in love with this place.
Alta Bakery and Cafe
One of our favorite hidden gems! This charming bakery is tucked away in a historic adobe building and serves the best pastries and coffee. We love grabbing a latte and their incredible almond croissant before strolling around town.
Captain + Stoker
Our go-to coffee shop in Monterey! This cool, modern café serves amazing espresso drinks and has such a fun, laid-back vibe. We love coming here for an oat milk latte before heading out to explore. Bonus: Their toast game is strong—try the almond butter and banana toast!
Alvarado Street Brewery
One of our favorite places to grab a drink! The beer is great, the food is awesome, and the atmosphere is fun and lively. If you’re in the mood for a casual hangout, this is the spot!
Dust Bowl Brewing Co. Tap Depot
his brewery has a fantastic lineup of beers, plenty of outdoor seating, and a fun atmosphere. We love coming here to unwind with a craft beer and some good food. Try the Taco Truck Lager—it’s a go-to!
