Monterey
Standing on the southern tip of Monterey Bay, this area is one of the most sought-after road trip destinations because it’s an epicenter of marine mammal life and was once the core of the sardine packing industry.
Travelers still visit in droves on this central California coastal road trip to Cannery Row. This Must-See landmark was immortalized in a Steinbeck novel of the same name.
While here, be sure to check out the seafood and stop in at the world-renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium.
Historic sites, including adobes, can still be seen around town, including California’s oldest church, the San Carlos Cathedral, and the one-time home of “Treasure Island” author Robert Louis Stevenson.
