1. Point Lobos State Reserve

|
| Wonderful place to visit, beautiful views, wildlife to observe, easy trails (perfect for our toddler). $9, $8 for the car, $1 for the Map. There's no excuse not to see this place! |

| Just $5 for adults. Even if you aren't religious, it's a awesome historical place to see. |

| Before or after a visit to the Mission, check out this great place. We've had a couple of romantic dinners here. They are also open for Sunday Brunch. |

Have fun strolling up and down and all over this quaint little village. Lots of little shops, art galleries, and wonderful restaurants. Little Napoli and Village Corner are a couple of great choices. Don't miss the beach at Sunset - or any time of day really - just head downhill on Ocean Ave. |

| $9 per car to enter, worth every penny to see such a famous stretch of coastline. Pebble Beach, the Lone Cypress, insanely huge homes, etc. Don't miss it! |

6. Pacific Grove Oceanview Boulevard

|
| Check out Lover's Point, beautiful views, a great walk, and absolutely free! |

| Candy stores, restaurants, and souvenier shops. We've enjoyed this area when killing time before or after an Aquarium visit. Very "touristy", but that's the point, so it's fun. |

|
| Kids under 3 are free! This helped us out a lot since Adult tickets are almost $25 each, but really, it's so worth it, you'll never forget it. Our 2 year old just couldn't believe her eyes - so many fish!! |

| If you can pull your self away from the coast for a bit, check out this area. Wonderful wineries to taste at... there's a lot more to explore here too that I haven't yet... hopefully soon! |
