    Monterey County, California

    (Photo provided by: Monterey County Convention & Visitors Bureau)
    Monterey offers a host of historic attractions from Cannery Row to the famous Monterey Aquarium. This incredible sliver of oceanfront offers an amazing bounty of things to do, with marine, floral and vine-fresh delights to savour. Monterey-Salinas Transit and Amtrak let you take your eyes off the road. Charming towns, world-class golf courses and idyllic inns lie at the edge of the glittering Pacific. Whether you're looking for calm or noisy beachside fun, the Monterey Peninsula has it in buckets.
