It has approximetly 30,000 residents, an average hightemperature 0f 65.3 degrees, an average low temperature of 47.8degrees, receives rain an average of 67 days a year and is onthe Monterey Peninsula which has over 98 miles of coastline.

The beautiful city of Monterey is approximetly 115 miles southof San Francisco and 350 miles north of Los Angeles. It can bereached by air, car, train, boat and bus. Just getting toMonterey is an experience in itself. For most of your trip youwill have California's gorgeous coastline on one side andbeautiful forests and mountains on the other. In my opinion, thebest way to visit Monterey is by car. Just driving through theMonterey Peninsula, with all of it's beautiful scenery and oldSpanish architecture, can be an experience of a lifetime.

Whether you enjoy, lying on the beach, swimming in the ocean,surfing, sport or surf fishing, golfing, shopping, visiting artgalleries, antiquing, dining, sightseeing, whale watching,taking romantic walks along the beach or just relaxing in aluxury hotel, you can do it in Monterey and you can do itwithout fighting heavy traffic, without being crowded andwithout breaking the bank.

Discover Old Fisherman's Wharf with it's great restaurants,seafood, unique shops, whale watching, fishing, and bay cruises,theatre, and the sights and sounds of Monterey's past. Visit theMonterey Bay Aquarium with it's over 200 award-winning galleriesand exhibits and it's approximately 550 different species ofmarine life. Play golf at Pebble Beach Golf Links which

wasranked the No. 1 Public Course in America by Golf Digest in2005. Take one of the numerous whale watching boat cruises andwatch Grey and Killer whales, dolohins, turtles, porpoises, sealions and more. Go sport fishing for Albacore, Cod, Flounder,Halibut, Salmon, Sea Bass, and Sole. Visit one of the hundredsof art galleries on the Peninsula. Stay at hotels like the HyattRegency Monterey Hotel with it's onsite 18-hole Del Monte GolfCourse and it's heated outdoor swimming pools or the MontereyPlaza Hotel & Spa which combines elegant European architecture,wide-sweeping coastal views and sophisticated style to createthe perfect vantage point by which to enjoy the gentle sounds ofsurf, the fresh scent of sea air and the sight of sea otters atplay. If all that is not enough for you, take a drive up thecoast and in less than two enjoyable hours you can be in SanFrancisco, eating in Chinatown or enjoying the nightlife.
