Never the Same Trip Twice.
With an enviable array of destinations and experiences, visiting Monterey means never taking the same trip twice.
Big Sur. Pebble Beach. Moss Landing. Carmel-by-the-Sea. Cannery Row. All widely known and wildly revered. What’s less known is they’re all part of Monterey County, and all lie within a stone’s throw of one another.
Which means you can golf the Links at Spanish Bay by day and enjoy wine-tasting in Salinas Valley before sunset. Or go whale watching on the Monterey Bay in the morning, then watch chefs at Salt Wood Kitchen & Oysterette fire up the catch of the day that night. Or maybe explore the Fort Ord National Monument before you escape to Ventana Big Sur for a week and clear your calendar.
