Deciding when to visit and where to stay, eat, and play Visiting maritime Monterey s aquarium and other top attractions Hitting the links and seeing the sights in elite Pebble Beach Cozying up in romantic Carmel-by-the-Sea and the Carmel Valley

repare yourself for some of the most spectacular real estate you ll ever see when you visit this rocky, cypress-dotted stretch of California coast A mystical, foggy shoreline rich with natural beauty and steeped in maritime history, it s home to the largest marine sanctuary in the continental United States, as well as some of the state s most charming communities The Monterey Peninsula juts out into the ocean at the south end of Monterey Bay The bay is the deepest part of the ocean just off the North American coast, twice as deep as the Grand Canyon As a result, it houses one of the most diverse collections of marine animals on the planet Sea lions, otters, pelicans, gulls, even whales are a major presence and set the tone for life here (More than one hotel manager reports that guests in ocean-facing rooms frequently call to complain about the barking dogs that wake them in the predawn hours to which the manager explains that you can t tell a sea lion to quiet down) The biggest draw on the peninsula is the town of Monterey, home to the justifiably world-famous Monterey Bay Aquarium, one of the premier attractions in the Golden State, and Cannery Row, the sardine-canning center immortalized by John Steinbeck and since transformed into a family-friendly tourist zone The aquarium actually lies half in Monterey and half in neighboring Pacific Grove, which we discuss in conjunction with Monterey because the dividing line is unnecessary for our purposes From a base in either town, you can easily enjoy the charms and attractions of both Sculpted out of the midsection of the peninsula is Pebble Beach, home to some of the most beautiful woodlands, some of the priciest residential real estate, and the best championship golf resorts in the country If you re looking for world-class greens, this is the place to be but pack that platinum card, because it doesn t come cheap You even have to

pay to tour this territory $875 to be exact along 17-Mile Drive, a gorgeous private road that traverses hill and dale along a meandering loop At the south end of the peninsula is Carmel-by-the-Sea, one of the sweetest little towns around, and home to one of California s most stunning beaches This upscale haven exists to delight you even if you want to do nothing more than eat, shop, and amble about the village In fact, that s pretty much all there is to do here, but it s a pleasant way to while away the hours
