Things to do in Monterey CA

Some of the best things to do in Monterey California!

1. Visit the Monterey bay aquarium

This aquarium is one the of top rated in the US and for good reason! The views around the aquarium and the sea life are amazing to see.

2. Admire the costal views

There’s so many places to admire the coast! Some of my favorites are Big Sur, point lobos, 17 mile drive, and pacific grove. There’s too many place to choose from, but these are some of the best!

3. Visit Henry Cowell Redwood State Park

This isn’t technically in Monterey, it’s in Felton. But it’s close enough and completely worth the trip to see redwoods! There’s also a train ride you can take through the redwoods here. All around this is an amazing state park and a must see spot!

4. Do a wine tasting

Although Napa is more known for their wine, Monterey and the surrounding areas also produce some great wines! In Monterey there’s a few places to try on Cannery row that will give you tastes from central and Northern California.

5. Eat at Bubba Gump!

If you’re a fan of the movie Forest Gump, you need to try this spot! There’s a good amount of locations of this restaurant throughout California, Vegas and even Cancun, but I like this one best! The views here are so great because it’s located right on the bay! This makes for a delicious lunch with good views and a hint of nostalgia.
