The best things to do in Monterey



Monterey receives millions of tourists every year, almost all of whom are drawn by the rugged and spectacular stretch of coast here. While the coast is probably the main thing to see in Monterey, there's lots more going on here. One of the top tourist attractions in Monterey is the impressive marine reserve. Boat trips are one of the best things to do in Monterey and most leave from Fisherman's Wharf. Many whale or dolphin watching tours and boat cruises depart, and these can be memorable Monterey activities.

The bay is one of the most beautiful places to visit in Monterey Peninsula, along with numerous trails, Garrapata State Park, and the waterfront. Of all the monuments to visit and stuff to do in Monterey, the Cannery Row monument, Cooper-Molera Adobe, or the churches of San Carlos and Mission Basilica Cathedral should be at the top of the list. The city also has several parks which are ideal if you are traveling with children. These Monterey attractions include the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Edgewater Packing Company. The rugged coastline here is the backdrop to many of the world's most beautiful golf courses, and while not cheap or easy to arrange, they are among the best attractions in Monterey.
