Monterey was California’s capital under Spanish and Mexican rule, and later a sardine-canning center made famous by John Steinbeck’s Cannery Row. Today the peninsula’s economy rests on tourism, the Monterey Bay Aquarium and a group of institutions that includes the Naval Postgraduate School and the Defense Language Institute. The neighboring Salinas Valley, often called the Salad Bowl of the World, supplies much of the country’s lettuce and greens, and Pacific Grove, Carmel-by-the-Sea and Pebble Beach complete the peninsula.
Monterey is about two hours from San Francisco and five or more from Los Angeles by car, and Monterey Regional Airport sits just a few minutes from downtown, Carmel and the gates of Pebble Beach. That makes it a natural private flight for golfers headed to Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill, and for collectors during Monterey Car Week each August, when the airport is one of the busiest private aviation destinations in the country. Visitors also come for the aquarium, the tide pools of Point Lobos and the drive south along Highway 1 into Big Sur.

Things to do in Monterey
When to go. September and October bring the peninsula’s sunniest, warmest weather, after a summer that is often foggy and cool. Monterey Car Week, centered on the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, fills every hotel in mid-August, and the Monterey Jazz Festival follows in September. The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am brings PGA Tour golf in February. Gray whales migrate offshore in winter and spring, and humpbacks feed in the bay through summer and fall.
- 01
Monterey Bay Aquarium
Built in a former cannery on the edge of the bay, the aquarium is known for its towering kelp forest exhibit, sea otters, jellyfish galleries and open-ocean tank.
- 02
Pebble Beach and 17-Mile Drive
The scenic toll road winds past the Lone Cypress, rocky coves and mansions to Pebble Beach Golf Links, a frequent U.S. Open host open to public play.
- 03
Carmel-by-the-Sea
This walkable village of storybook cottages, galleries, wine tasting rooms and restaurants ends at a white-sand beach, with Carmel Mission a short drive away.
- 04
Point Lobos State Natural Reserve
South of Carmel, trails follow granite headlands and hidden coves where sea otters, harbor seals and seasonal whales are often spotted. Arrive early, as parking fills quickly.
- 05
Cannery Row
The waterfront street immortalized by Steinbeck now holds restaurants, hotels, tasting rooms and shops in restored cannery buildings, with the bay steps away.

Big Sur
Highway 1 continues south past Bixby Creek Bridge and Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park along one of the world’s great coastlines. Check road conditions, as slides can close sections.
