Exploring Monterey & 17 mile drive

Details

Description

Travel video blog about our weekend gateway trip to Monterey and 17 mile drive in California.

Located in California’s Central Cost, Monterey is a charming city that can be accessed from San Francisco in just two hours drive. The city of Monterey is most popular for being home to of one of the best aquariums in the world: The Monterey Aquarium. With thousands of marine animals and plants on display in underwater and interactive exhibits, its not hard to understand why this attraction is so popular among tourists.

We visited the aquarium on a Saturday afternoon and we spent whole afternoon exploring the area. Its safe to say that you need at least 4 hours to explore everything that the aquarium has to offer. Its also good to note that this attraction is usually packed, especially when you visit it on a weekend. Nevertheless, the Monterey Aquarium is an amazing place to explore and it should be on everyone’s bucket list for California. Monterey is also conveniently located along the coast which makes it the perfect spot to stop on your road trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco.

Another popular spot that we visited on this trip is the 17 mile drive, which is a private road that runs from Pacific Grove to Pebble Beach. It s considered one of the most scenic drives in the world, and to get access to this exclusive neighbourhood you have to go through the gate in Carmel or Pacific Grove where a small fee is charged. There are plenty of places spots to explore along the 17 mile drive and we had 4 hours to explore the area before heading back to San Francisco at the end of our trip.
