Monterey's not lost its artsy flair and a walk down the sidewalk is often a walk beside art gallery after art gallery. Cannery Row and Fisherman's Wharf are a different kind of art, waterfront tourist draws. And sidewalks often give way to parks, which break up the streets and buildings with greenery and gardens. Wineries cover the area around Monterey and live theater and music is easy to find.
Don't miss the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary or the Maritime Museum and for a truly astounding experience, go on a whalewatching tour.
