Monterey and related destinations

Wander through America's most historic coastal city west of Santa Fe, where sea otters frolic offshore and Cannery Row has traded sardines for boutiques. The world-class Monterey Bay Aquarium mesmerizes with its jellyfish ballet and kelp forest theater. Take the legendary 17-Mile Drive past the stoic Lone Cypress, standing defiantly on its rocky perch. Fisherman's Wharf offers clam chowder samples from competing vendors who'll happily explain why theirs is superior. History buffs shouldn't miss the adobe buildings downtown, while jazz aficionados might time visits for the famous annual festival. For a perfect afternoon, grab a kayak and paddle alongside harbor seals in the bay, where otters float on their backs, using their bellies as dinner tables.
