Monterey is a city 115 miles south of San Francisco on the California Coast. One of the big events of the year is the Monterey Jazz Festival which is held every September. If you're more into wine than into jazz, then take a Wine Trolley Tour through the Carmel Valley which starts every day at 11am. Other attractions in Monterey are the Steinbeck's Spirit of Monterey Wax Museum with over 100 wax figures that represent Monterey's long history and if you still got a little time on your hand, you can watch whales off the coast of Monterey - it's definitely a "must see". Hungry? Then visit Isabella's Italian Seafood Restaurant located on Old Fisherman's Wharf in Monterey. They offer gorgeous harbor views. Or try the Fish Hopper which is located on the Pacific Ocean on historic Cannery Row. Less
