Monterey Itineraries
- With One Day to Play
- With Two Days to Play
- With Three Days to Play
With just a little more time to spend, your sightseeing opportunities widen dramatically.
Day 1
Spend the first morning on Cannery Row, visiting the Monterey Bay Aquarium and learning about the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary at our doorstep. Ramble the Recreation Trail over to Monterey, and spend the afternoon out whalewatching or, if the weather discourages voyaging, go walk the Path of History through Old Monterey. Start at Custom House and Pacific House Museum, both near Fisherman’s Wharf, then go on to visit Cooper-Molera Adobe, Casa Serrano and Casa Soberanes.
Day 2
On Day Two, drive the beautiful coast road connecting Monterey to Carmel, passing through into Pebble Beach, renowned for its superb golf courses and the picturesque 17-Mile Drive. Dawdle Carmel’s leafy streets to investigate innumerable art galleries, antique shops and quality boutiques, or play on its silvery, dog-friendly beach before lunch.
In the afternoon, head up Carmel Valley. This is the sunniest part of the coast, equally highly regarded for its sunsoaked golf courses, horseback riding and hiking trails, and wineries. At Laureles Grade, you can choose to go straight on to Carmel Valley Village for more wine-tasting and antiquing, or go over the hills to Salinas and the National Steinbeck Center.
