Visit Monterey California
Monterey, California, the oldest city in California, was founded
in 1770. It has approximetly 30,000 residents, an average high
temperature 0f 65.3 degrees, an average low temperature of 47.8
degrees, receives rain an average of 67 days a year and is on
the Monterey Peninsula which has over 98 miles of coastline.
The beautiful city of Monterey is approximetly 115 miles south
of San Francisco and 350 miles north of Los Angeles. It can be
reached by air, car, train, boat and bus. Just getting to
Monterey is an experience in itself. For most of your trip you
will have California's gorgeous coastline on one side and
beautiful forests and mountains on the other. In my opinion, the
best way to visit Monterey is by car. Just driving through the
Monterey Peninsula, with all of it's beautiful scenery and old
Spanish architecture, can be an experience of a lifetime.
Whether you enjoy, lying on the beach, swimming in the ocean,
surfing, sport or surf fishing, golfing, shopping, visiting art
galleries, antiquing, dining, sightseeing, whale watching,
taking romantic walks along the beach or just relaxing in a
luxury hotel, you can do it in Monterey and you can do it
without fighting heavy traffic, without being crowded and
without breaking the bank.
Discover Old Fisherman's Wharf with it's great restaurants,
seafood, unique shops, whale watching, fishing, and bay cruises,
theatre, and the sights and sounds of Monterey's past. Visit the
Monterey Bay Aquarium with it's over 200 award-winning galleries
and exhibits and it's approximately 550 different species of
marine life. Play golf at Pebble Beach Golf Links which was
ranked the No. 1 Public Course in America by Golf Digest
in
2005. Take one of the numerous whale watching boat cruises and
watch Grey and Killer whales, dolohins, turtles, porpoises, sea
lions and more. Go sport fishing for Albacore, Cod, Flounder,
Halibut, Salmon, Sea Bass, and Sole. Visit one of the hundreds
of art galleries on the Peninsula. Stay at hotels like the Hyatt
Regency Monterey Hotel with it's onsite 18-hole Del Monte Golf
Course and it's heated outdoor swimming pools or the Monterey
Plaza Hotel & Spa which combines elegant European architecture,
wide-sweeping coastal views and sophisticated style to create
the perfect vantage point by which to enjoy the gentle sounds of
surf, the fresh scent of sea air and the sight of sea otters at
play. If all that is not enough for you, take a drive up the
coast and in less than two enjoyable hours you can be in San
Francisco, eating in Chinatown or enjoying the nightlife.
