Holidays in Old Monterey
Tell your friends you’re sorry not sorry if you don't reply to their DMs. You’re about to discover the best parts of Old Monterey, Monterey! This exciting city is home to around 28,000 people, along with plenty of adventures you’ll want to cross off your bucket list. Arriving by air? After you've kissed the tarmac at Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport, you'll need to travel 85 kilometres south to get to Old Monterey. The neighbourhood is 0.3 kilometres to the southeast of central Monterey.
Old Monterey is a sightseer's paradise. A range of the city's top attractions are scattered near this fascinating neighbourhood, including Monterey Bay Aquarium and Fishermans Wharf. Don't forget to put Carmel Beach and Dennis the Menace Park on your list as well. While you're in town, consider going to a few other neighbourhoods to taste more of what Monterey offers. Monterey and Munras Avenue are some attractive areas that aren't too far away.
No journey to Monterey could be considered complete without venturing to the California State University Monterey Bay. As far as awesome sights go, it's up there with the best. It's located just 10 kilometres from the downtown area.
There are stacks of reasons why so many travellers head straight to the centre of Monterey. The Maritime Museum and Point Pinos Lighthouse are just a couple of them. To get an even better feel for your surrounds, also drop into the Pebble Beach Golf Links and Lone Cypress Pine.
Leave the little ones with a babysitter and have some fun at the Galante Vineyards, the Ventana Vineyards Tasting Room, the Scheid Vineyards Tasting Room and the Wrath Winery.
A few excellent cultural sites are waiting. Start at the Cherry Center for the Arts, the Grove Homescapes and the Strouse and Strouse Studio-Gallery.
Not much calms the mind and boosts your creativity like an afternoon in an art gallery. Spark your curiosity as you examine the striking works on display at the Monterey Museum of Art and the Monterey Museum of Art-La Mirada.
Sometimes it's the raved-about exhibits that excite us the most. Other times it's an overlooked treasure that's been hidden away in a dim corner. Keep a lookout for both at the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History, the Presidio of Monterey Museum, the Jameson's Classic Motorcycle Museum and the Doc Rickett's Pacific Biological Laboratories.
The mark of an excellent show tends to be how loud the applause is when it's finished. Come and join in the cheers at the Golden State Theatre, the Sunset Center, the Forest Theater Guild and the Golden Bough Playhouse.
Is your golf swing inconsistent? Does your alignment need some work? With outstanding fairways like the Del Monte Golf Course, the Monterey Pines Golf Course, the Spyglass Hill Golf Course and the Poppy Hills Golf Course to tee off at, improving your score will be par for the course.
You'll find a number of action-packed attractions in the region. The Monterey County Fairgrounds, Lovers Point, Smallsea, A Metropolis in Miniature and Jacks Peak County Park will keep the young ones from running up the walls.
There's nothing better than witnessing the sun setting over the sea while digging your feet into the sand. For this magical experience, take a trip to Asilomar State Beach, San Carlos Beach - The Breakwater and Del Monte Beach.
The shopping experience is unique to everyone. Whether you already have something in mind or just after some retail therapy, you can't go past Carmel Plaza, American Tin Cannery, The Barnyard and Del Monte Shopping Center.
