Monterey Links Directory and Travel Resources

(Monterey, California - CA, USA)

It is the city's setting next to the Pacific Ocean that has made Monterey such a popular Californian tourist destination, not to mention its location just over two hours to the south of San Francisco. Boasting a world-class aquarium attraction and various appealing museums, this National Marine Sanctuary can be explored in so many ways, from kayaking along the coastline to scuba diving beneath the ocean's surface.

The downtown district is a particularly historic part of the city, with an interesting Mexican and Spanish heritage. Some of the oldest and most notable modern buildings are to be found within the Monterey State Historic Park, while the Cannery Row and Fisherman's Wharf areas provide further interest, the latter of which is the place to come for seasonal whale watching cruises. If you prefer to keep your feet on terra firma, then consider hiking along the Monterey Peninsula Recreation Trail.
