Monterey - Nearby Destinations

Tourist destinations to consider near Monterey are listed below. Click on any name for complete information.

Oakland		Population: 1.5 million

	Oakland has always struggled to forge an identity for itself separate from its famous sister across the bay. Once primarily a major port town, Oakland has a pleasant climate and convenient access to both the San Francisco area and East Bay spots like Berkeley.

San Francisco		Population: 2.7 million (area population)

	San Francisco is one of the few North American cities to achieve the legendary status of such places as Paris or London. It is a city defined by collisions: of Mexican, Asian, and American cultures, of the cold north Pacific ocean with the sunny California mainland, of 18th century Spanish missions with 21st century financial skyscrapers. Whether you’re in sight of landmarks like Alcatraz or the Golden Gate Bridge makes no difference: San Francisco’s tangible character is enough to tell you where you are.

San Jose		Population: 930,000

	Consistently voted as one of the sunniest, safest, and overall best places to live in the country, San Jose and the surrounding area is rapidly gaining a place in history alongside its other West Coast neighbors. Situated at the foot of rolling green hills at the south end of the San Francisco Bay, San Jose is one of California’s oldest cities and is the eleventh largest in the nation.

San Luis Obispo		Population: 44,000

	The sleepy, almost “secret” city of San Luis Obispo serves as the commercial, governmental and cultural hub of California’s Central Coast.

Santa Cruz		Population: 54,000

	Santa Cruz is the epitome of a beach town. Surfing reigns supreme here, not only as the dominant outdoor activity, but also as the defining mentality that permeates all aspects of the city. One of Santa Cruz’s biggest draws, second only perhaps to its amazing beaches and world-renowned surf, is the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, the West Coast's last remaining seaside amusement park.
