Things To Do
Monterey Bay Aquarium
We (Nick and Rainey) went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium for Valentine's Day of 2025 and we highly recommend visiting the sweet animals there while you are in Monterey for our wedding.
17 Mile Drive
Nick took me on this stunning coastal scenery-filled drive through a gated community. There is a toll for non-residents to access 17-Mile Drive, but you can get it reimbursed with a minimum spend (let any restaurant know that you need it reimbursed and it will most likely get taken off that bill).
Cannery Row
We recommend to explore around Cannery Row - the Central Coast’s premier visitor destination. Home to some of the most luxurious hotels, world-class restaurants, boutiques & galleries, spas, premium wine tasting & exciting recreation Monterey has to offer, including the best nightlife. Walk everywhere. The breathtaking coastline of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary is the backdrop for every Cannery Row experience. Parking is never a problem, and everything is within walking distance.
