Monterey resident, author
Robert Louis Stevenson, described the Monterey peninsula as: "the greatest
meeting of land and water in the world."
The beautiful seaside community of Monterrey
combines all the charm of small town America with an endless variety of
recreational and cultural activities.
Monterey lies on
the Monterey Peninsula which ranges in altitude from sea level to 360 feet.
State highway 1 winds through redwood forests, along sheer cliffs, and past
fishing piers, the blue Pacific, and white sandy beaches as it moves along the
spectacular Big Sur Coast. It is one of the most scenic and dramatic stretches
of road in the world.
This continuous, scenic road
that follows the coastal curves of the bay is the world famous 17-Mile Drive.
Exclusive Pebble Beach with its well-known golf courses is located along it.
Monterey, the largest bay
town, lies in the center of the peninsula and has three major areas to explore:
Old Monterey, with its historic adobe buildings; Cannery Row; and Fishermen's
Wharf.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium is
the centerpiece of Cannery Row. It has
one of the largest displays of
underwater life in the world. Highlights include a 335,000 gallon Kelp Forest
tank, a touch pool where you can pet bat rays, a two-story exhibit devoted to
sea otters, and a "Drifters Gallery," with swirling, multicolored jellyfish..
A Path of History connects the
37 sites of the Monterey State Historic Park. The sites can be entered as part
of a ninety-minute guided historic walking tour that leaves hourly from the
park's Stanton Center. Included on the old Monterey portion of the tour is
Larkin House whose original owner, Thomas Larkin, pioneered the Monterey style
of architecture. This consisted of two story adobe houses with Greek
revival-style balconies and other ornamentation.
Soak in the sun and chip your way out of the beach.
