MONTEREY PENINSULA
​
The Monterey Peninsula is located on California’s Central Coast, a two-hour drive south of San Francisco and five hours north of Los Angeles. It’s a scenic and historic coastal destination welcoming visitors from around the world. The Peninsula encompasses the city of Monterey, as well as charming Pacific Grove, iconic Pebble Beach, and quaint Carmel.
​
The Peninsula provides many opportunities for shopping, dining, ocean-side walks, golf, entertainment, and more. The world-renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium is located in the historic Cannery Row written about by John Steinbeck. Fisherman’s Wharf offers dining, shopping, and opportunities for whale watching cruises. During certain times of year, you can even spot whales frolicking in Monterey Bay as you walk along the shore. A lengthy series of ocean shore paths and walkways start at the Ocean Institute, go through Lover’s Point and continue around the Peninsula’s tip to the sand-duned beach of Asilomar and eventually to Pebble Beach.
