With 3 days in Monterey, you'll have time to experience the city's highlights. This is a place of sensory contrasts: the briny scent of fresh-caught Dungeness crab at Old Fisherman's Wharf, the roar of elephant seals at Año Nuevo, the silent grandeur of ancient cypress trees twisted by ocean winds along 17-Mile Drive. Monterey's magic lies in its ability to be both a profound natural sanctuary and a deeply human story, told in the weathered planks of its wharves and the vibrant galleries of its adobe-lined downtown.
