USA-Canada: Monterey

Monday, September 8th, 2008

The last city in our trip was Monterey. Monterey is a beautiful place with amazing views. If you like nature this is for you.
When we had been in LA we ordered by Kayak a hotel. It was Best Western Park Crest Inn hotel. It is nice hotel with clean rooms and free WiFi. Also there is pool, but we have not time to use it.
Our firs day we started with:

17-Mile Drive

Address:
17 Mile Dr,Pacific Grove, CA

Recommendation:

:)
Discover Nature’s treasures as you explore the serene majesty of Del Monte Forest. Here you’ll quickly experience the magic of a legendary scenic tour that’s home to The Lone Cypress, Seal and Bird Rocks, Fanshell Beach, Point Joe, and the colliding currents of The Restless Sea.

You’ll see black cormorants, brown pelicans, California sea otters, harbor seals, and idle sea lions all in their natural habitat. Colorful native wildflowers dot the scene, adorning the cool, soothing hues of the seashore and carefully preserved dune scape.

Along the way, you’ll encounter the emerald fairways of such famous golf courses as The Links at Spanish Bay, Spyglass Hill and the world-renowned Pebble Beach Golf Links. For a gourmet picnic lunch along 17-Mile Drive, visit Pebble Beach Market adjacent to The Lodge at Pebble Beach.

In next day we rented bicycle in Bay Bikes Rentals and did Coastal Recreation Trail.

Coastal Recreation Trail

Address:
Ocean View Blvd Pacific Grove, CA

Recommendation:

The Monterey Bay Coastal Recreation Trail extends for about one mile from the Monterey Bay Aquarium to Lovers Point. The Pacific Grove section of the trail is part of the recreation trail network which runs from Marina to Pacific Grove. Formerly located on the Southern Pacific Railroad Right-of-Way, the trail has separate walking and cycling paths. It serves as a major walking, jogging, and bicycling route along the northeastern coastline of the city.

Bay Aquarium

Address:
886 Cannery Row,Monterey, CA 93940

Recommendation:

My comments:
Because I did diving in red sea, and was in underwater observatory in Eilat, Israel, I didn’t see something new. But it is nice when you can touch sea animals.
About the Place:
