Things To Do
Carmel-by-the-Sea
Kenny and Tate usually prefer to stay in Carmel when visiting. Carmel-by-the-Sea is small but may be the CUTEST town in the entire world. There is an abundance of wonderful restaurants, shops, art galleries; not to mention the beach with views of Pebble Beach. Everywhere in this area is walkable, so it is a great area to spend the day or afternoon!
17 Mile Drive / Pebble Beach
This drive is considered one of the prettiest drives in the world! See the gorgeous houses and the famous Pebble Beach golf course on this drive. Make reservations at The Bench at the Lodge and enjoy a meal or cocktail overlooking the famous 18th hole. All golfers must check out the gift shop.
Big Sur
Big Sur is a MUST! The drive from the Monterey Peninsula is stunning. Pull over for a scenic picture of Bixby Bridge on your way to Big Sur. A short hike will take you to the magnificent McWay Falls. The Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park and the Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park are breathtaking. The Big Sur River Inn is a fun stop to relax in Adirondack chairs as you soak your feet in the river and enjoy a cocktail in the woods!

Nepenthe
Gorgeous restaurant views in Big Sur!! This historic place has great food and is a wonderful spot to post up and grab a bite to eat with some wine. You may need to wait a bit for a table, but the views overlooking the ocean and mountains are worth every minute. It's truly one of our favorite places in Big Sur.
Monterey
There is so much to see and do in Monterey. Must sees are Cannery Row and the amazing oceanside Monterey Bay Aquarium. To learn more, please visit: SeeMonterey.com and www.montereybayaquarium.org
Point Lobos State Natural Reserve
Often called "the crown jewel" of California's 280 state parks and is considered by many as one of the most beautiful places in the state. You'll see white sand beaches, dramatic cliffs, emerald waters, wildflowers, tide pools, sea lions and so much more.
Winery Tours and Tastings
Taste your way through some of the region's best wines on the Carmel-by-the-Sea Wine Walk, a self-guided tour using a fun mobile app. If you crave more wine tasting, head inland to Carmel Valley Village which has over 20 tasting rooms all within walking distance to each other. Our favorite wineries to visit are Folklore, Bernardus, Cowgirl and Holman Ranch (of course!)
