About this experience

See Monterey as a day rather than a drive-by route. Begin with the historic center and waterfront, continue through Cannery Row and Pacific Grove, and use the added time for the aquarium, a meal, shoreline walks or the places that catch your eye. A full-day reservation gives you the freedom to combine the drive with the attractions and stops that matter most to you. This is the route for guests who want to combine driving with longer stops. Move from Historic Monterey through Pacific Grove to Coastal viewpoints, then use the flexibility of the reservation for the meal, walk, attraction or overlook that turns the drive into your day.
