Monterey, California

Offering a temperate climate and a wonderful ocean-side location, Monterey is an ideal destination for enjoying unparalleled scenery and an intriguing regional heritage. Steeped in history, Monterey is home to the oldest Mexican-era adobes in California and its downtown is a National Historic Landmark, with two 19th century lighthouses gracing the nearby coast. Held every October, History Fest Monterey celebrates the city's past through tours, films, re-enactments, lectures and music. Views of the incredible Californian coastline and Pacific Ocean are the key feature of 17-Mile Drive, which passes dozens of enchanting mansions and the premier Pebble Beach Golf Links. The city's most popular attraction is the Monterey Bay Aquarium, a fabulous showcase of the fish, mammals and plants that populate nearby waters.
