Monterey Accommodation

With 139 accommodations in Monterey to select from, the tough part isn't finding a place to stay... it's finding the right place to stay. That's where we can help.

C'mon — you've worked your tail off for this holiday, right? So why not indulge a little and treat yourself to a few nights in a posh room at the L Auberge Carmel (Monte Verde at Seventh) or the Carmel Valley Ranch (One Old Ranch Road)? If these don't float your boat (or suit your budget), why not look into some of our comfy, affordable options such as the Asilomar Conference Grounds (800 Asilomar Blvd) or the Merritt House Inn (386 Pacific St)?

Monterey Bay Aquarium is a must-see landmark for every traveller in town, so it's a good thing that the Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa and the Jabberwock Inn are both nearby. Get yourself a room and go over whenever you fancy.

Car Hire in Monterey

Both Avis at 200 Fred Kane Dr and Budget at 200 Fred Kane Dr Suite 105 are just a short taxi drive from Monterey Peninsula Airport.

Enterprise (1191 Echo Avenue) and Hertz (2049 Del Monte Blvd.) are the top choices in Seaside. They may not be right in the centre, but they're still within easy reach.

• We believe arts and cultural experiences should not cost a cent, and the folks at the Cherry Centre for the Arts, the Golden Bough Playhouse, the Grove Homescapes and the Strouse and Strouse Studio-Gallery agree.

• See if you can mimic the interesting calls and movements of the animals at California Sea Otter Game Refuge.

• For a fun and exciting day out that won't break the bank, head over to Dennis the Menace Park and Lovers Point.

Must-see Monterey

The most pressing dilemma you'll have when you show up in Monterey is what to see first. Monterey Bay Aquarium and Fishermans Wharf will all be battling to be at the top of your list.

Thinking of exploring Carmel Beach and Dennis the Menace Park? You'll find them just an easy drive away. They're also close to some other fantastic attractions, such as the Maritime Museum and Point Pinos Lighthouse. What more could you want?

Head to Naval Postgraduate School and discover why so many students have attended this historic institution. But don't let that be your one and only stop. Aim for an eagle (or at least try to stay out of the rough) at Del Monte Golf Course. Hungry for more? Children and adults alike are sure to adore all the excitement at Monterey County Fairgrounds.
