Destination: Monterey Peninsula
Historic Monterey Peninsula offers our visitors dramatic scenery, four-star
cuisine, boutique shopping, arts and theatre, as well as a myriad of
outdoor activities. Author Robert Louis Stevenson rightly called it,
“The greatest meeting of land and water in the world.” Visitors
will delight in famous attractions such as the spectacular 17-mile drive
with rocky coves and windblown cypresses along the Big Sur coastline,
and historic village, Carmel-by-the-Sea. The renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium
and celebrated Cannery Row are attractions not to be missed.
History buffs will be fascinated with historical sites that trace the region’s lineage back to pre-historic times and later to seventeenth century Spanish influences.
The Monterey Peninsula is a golfer’s paradise, boasting world class golf resorts such as the unparalleled Pebble Beach Golf Links, Spanish Bay, and Spyglass Hill. An occasional “Fore!” rings out amid the sounds of crashing waves and seagulls’ calls. In addition to golf, outdoor enthusiasts may pursue a range of activities that include surfing, sea kayaking, hiking, and horseback riding.
Like our northern neighbors, Monterey is also famous for its fine cuisine. It offers a wide range of ethnic flavor and style that incorporates local seafood and organic produce. After a sumptuous dinner, enjoy a trip to the oldest outdoor theatre in the West. Arts and theatre are integral parts of life in Monterey, which continually beckons new and established artists and writers. You may find their work in various galleries and picturesque shops that adorn Carmel-by-the-Sea.
Monterey offers so much to visitors and yet still retains its small town charm. Let Benchmark Destinations show you the unrivaled beauty of this California treasure.
