Monterey

Get a clam chowder in a sourdough bowl bun at the wharf! Brilliant stuff.

I just loved the aquarium. Photographing jellyfish for hours.

I grew up not far from Monterey. Its parks, playgrounds, movie theaters and beaches are all a rich part of my childhood. I high recommend it as a weekend getaway for Californians with kids!

I’m there right now for a conference and it is beautiful! Got to visit the Aquarium and will get to do some shopping in Carmel. I ate at Passionfish in Pacific Grove and walked a bit at the beach. Gorgeous and I’m glad this conference will bring me back this way again!

Go paddle boating on El Estero Lake and navigate to the island in the middle of the lake!

I lived there for two years and it was absolutely amazing! I want to take my husband who has never been and show him the sights.

We went kayaking here a few years ago and it was incredible. Sea lions and sea otters everywhere. It was my first kayaking experience and I’ll never forget it.

I lived here for about one and a half years. Gorgeous, but no snow.

used to live in beautiful pg, and ride along the bike path down to lovers point and all the way around towards spanish bay .. with the wind at my tail and the sound of the ocean crashing along the beaches, this has got to be high on anyones list of beautiful rides. one of my favourites!

definitely have to go to the aquarium and the beach—gorgeous!
