Get ready to "yacht rock" the night away because our wedding will be anything BUT traditional. Just think "California Coastal" attire.
We love this coastal town, which is why we chose to get married here! We hope you get to explore the area while you're here!
This charming fairytale town has been our favorite getaway, and we hope you can take some time to experience it too! The best beach to watch sunsets also
Very "Touristy" area but lots of fun shops and restaurants and views of the Monterey Bay.
Be sure and stop at Spanish Bay and/or The Lodge for a drink or lunch overlooking the famous Pebble Beach Golf Links. Spanish Bay has a bagpipe player every night at sunset.
A must see! Great walking path winding along the ocean. Fun Fact: this was a main area where "Big Little Lies" was filmed.
Truly one of the most beautiful hiking areas in the world!!
This is considered the downtown of Monterey. Lots of restaurants, bars, shops
