Given Monterey’s location in the center of it all, it makes a convenient base for travelers looking to avoid changing accommodations daily. Monterey County is world-famous for its portion of the winding Pacific Coast Highway, as well as for the elegance of Pebble Beach along 17-Mile Drive and the jagged views, waterfalls, and backcountry hikes around Big Sur. The town itself is nestled right on the Bay, with views of the water accentuated by seals and sea otters swimming gleefully in the waters amongst the boats.
Monterey lies three hours south of San Francisco, and is the most well trafficked town in Monterey County primarily due to the world-respected Monterey Bay Aquarium.
