Monterey is famous for it's Monterey Bay, 17-Mile Drive, Seal Rock, Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row, and the Lone Cypress.
The Santa Cruz
Beach Boardwalk is located on a mile-long beach bordering Monterey
Bay. It has a classic 1911 Looff carousel and the popular Giant Dipper wooden roller coaster,
built in 1924. It is double the fun to have just a large scale
amusement park on the side of a beautiful beach.
There are a lot of people playing valley balls and sunbathing evening at October. The pier is a good place to have a lunch and dinner. They are famous for their seafood and ocean views.
Cannery Row is an historic area of Monterey, located on Monterey Bay between the Coast Guard wharf and the Pacific Grove border. It is a popular visitor area that includes the famous Monterey Bay Aquarium, galleries, shops, wine-tasting rooms, a factory outlet center, specialty stores, restaurants, hotels, and inns.
17-Mile Drive is a scenic drive from Pacific Grove to Carmel which winds along the Pacific coastline and through pine forests. Points of interest include Seal Rock, Cypress Point, and Lone Cypress. The route offers many opportunities for scenic coastline views and passes by the famous Pebble Beach Golf Course and the residential area of Pebble Beach. (toll fee ~ $7.00)
I saw deer wondering around the Pebble Beach Golf Course area. Bird Rock and Seal Rock - thousands of birds, seals and sea lions on towering off shore rocks. A pair of binoculars would be helpful to see them in their off coast location.
It is not difficult to spot surfers along the coast of Monterey Bay.
