The
Monterey Peninsula
offers a treasure of diverse
recreational activities. The
Monterey Bay, twice as deep
and wide as the Grand Canyon
with an abundance of sea life,
such as sea otters and sea lions,
is a scuba diver's dream. For
surfers, the Bay offers fast-breaking
and challenging waves. And the
fishing, well, it's world renowned
with salmon as the favorite
catch. Sailing and whalewatching
are also big favorites of visitors.
For the golf enthusiast this
is paradise. There are 19 championship
courses spread out amidst the
world's most beautiful settings.
And if you like tennis, our
year round mild climate will
allow you to play anytime.
The Monterey Bay National
Marine Sanctuary offers a
unique kayaking adventure,
combining views of the spectacular
coastline and encounters with
local sea life inhabitants
like whales, sea lions, sea
otters and an interesting
array of aquatic bird life.
Rock hounds will find some
challenging climbs in the
Monterey area and one of them
is the Sanctuary Rock Gym
offering over 5,000 square
feet of indoor sculpted climbing
terrain, including a 30 foot
faux peak. Hundreds of miles
of superb hiking trails are
available or you can take
a pack trip on horseback or
a romantic ride on the beach
at sunset. For a spectacular
view of the peninsula coastline,
try hang-gliding or cruise
the coast in a plane. Rollerblading
and biking along the path
from Lover's Point in Pacific
Grove to Fisherman's Wharf
in Monterey is a favorite
pastime. No matter which recreational
or sporting event you choose,
it will be a unique, exciting
and memorable experience that
you won't soon forget.
