Sightseeing
This is our favorite beach in the Monterey area. It's located 1 mile from the house and a beautiful spot to enjoy the views of Monterey Bay, watch para-gliders, and hunt for sea glass.

A drive down into Big Sir is a must! While you're there, take the extra time to drive to Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park and walk the trail to the waterfall. It is an amazing site and well worth the drive.
