With just one day in Monterey, focus on the highlights of the area. Start your day with some scenic hiking at the Point Lobos State Reserve, or go on a whale watching cruise of Monterey Bay, or visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium. In the afternoon, do the famous 17-Mile Drive and enjoy beach time at Spanish Bay Beach. In the evening, stroll Cannery Row, then enjoy wine tasting and a fabulous farm-to-fork dining experience in Carmel-by-the-Sea!
