Romance

Monterey County is the ideal spot to reconnect. Breathtaking scenery, a large supply of creature comforts and a leisurely pace of life combine to create a magical elixir that works on even the most casual romantic. Monterey's romantic roots run deep, offering ways to fall in love with the area and re-ignite your spark with each other.

Imagine sunset cruises, beach bonfires, leisurely wine tasting in one of dozens of tasting rooms, spa treatments followed by excellent meals, or exploring the Monterey Bay Aquarium together. Charming bed and breakfast inns, full service resort hotels, and peaceful campsites among the redwoods are a few options for Monterey County accommodations.
