Bureau. “It’s all of California’s best in one location—
mountains, ocean, beaches, wine country, golf, wildlife,
adventure, fine dining, serenity, history, culture, scenic
Highway 1. I would challenge anyone to find a destination with this much beauty or diversity.”
Last year, nine million visitors poured $958 million
into the county economy.
“It all goes back to diversity,” McMahon says. “We
have a venue for every traveler—luxury, family friendly,
high-end corporate incentive travel, and beyond. And to
complement these world-class venues, the highest Zagatrated restaurants. The accolades speak for themselves.”
Monterey County has something for everyone: history
buffs, bird watchers, art collectors and nature lovers, and
more.
Although a large share of visitors are from California,
Monterey County attracts a significant number of global
travelers.
Whether you’re traveling for business or leisure—seeking adventure, a secluded romantic getaway, solitude, or
spiritual rejuvenation—rest assured, you won’t be disappointed. They’re all right here. And any time is the right
time to discover California’s best-kept and most breathtaking secrets.
Picture Perfect
Trip of a
LIFETIME
A glimpse of the pristine Pacific Ocean at sunset. A sip of regional wine that
rivals any French label. A stroll though a fine-art gallery or along a white sand
beach. A taste of world-class cuisine. A night’s stay at a secluded spa or charming
bed-and-breakfast. Or a surprise encounter with a sea otter pup. One visit, and
you too will be hooked on all that California’s Monterey County has to offer
leisure and business travelers alike—year-round.
“Monterey County is the most beautiful destination in California,” says John
McMahon, president and CEO of the Monterey County Convention and Visitors

Deciding which sights to see can be overwhelming,
particularly if your time is limited or you and your travel
companion can’t agree on how best to spend the day.
Although many of Monterey and Carmel’s historic
sights are within walking distance of many hotels, it’s
often easier to have a tour guide help plan your itinerary.
“When people sign up for the Big Sur tour, I tell them
to get excited—very excited,” says Dave Engelberg of
Central Coast Day Tripper. “I’m not the kind who promises more than I can deliver. But more often than not, the
day spent in Big Sur is a day that will last in their minds
forever.”
After retiring from a 32-year career as a tennis pro in
upscale tennis and country clubs in Southern California,
Engelberg followed his dream to live in Pebble Beach.
With more than 400 trips up and down the coast since
1969, and several years of research, Engelberg knows
Monterey County’s most scenic sights, hotels, galleries,
and restaurants. He also knows many of its best-kept
secrets.
He’s an affable one-man show who rolls out the red
carpet for his clients. Traveling with Engelberg in his luxury Volvo sedan affords tourists the opportunity to relax
and leave the often treacherous driving to him. He’s happy
to make suggestions, and he has helped couples with differing agendas to compromise. He wants to play golf, she
wants to see Big Sur? No problem. Engelberg will suggest
that the couple meet for lunch—after he finishes the back
nine, and she’s hiked
to the Big Sur waterfalls and visited an
art gallery. Everyone’s
happy.
“My style is simple,
and I’m available 24/7
for overnight and oneway trips, too,” says
Engelberg. “This is a
Rolls Royce service in
a Volvo, and it’s my
passion.”
Central Coast Day Monica Hudson of
California Legacy Tours
Tripper, which has
been recognized by National Geographic, offers custom
tours of the entire Monterey Peninsula and beyond. You
say where, you say when, and he’ll make it happen.
If your tastes lean toward Monterey’s cultural history,
you’ll find Monica Hudson of California Legacy Tours to
be just what you’re looking for.
Dressing in carefully researched period clothing from
the 1800s, Hudson will escort you on a walking tour
through Monterey.
“We literally walk in the footsteps of history, on the
whalebone sidewalk, along the Mexican Custom House,
and into the hall where California’s constitution was
signed,” says Hudson, who is known for her storytelling.
“That closeness to history will make your visit to this
beautiful area unforgettable.”
Hudson also provides tours of Cannery Row and the
Carmel Mission and offers a nature walk through Point
Lobos.
Interested in seeing where some of Hollywood’s
most memorable scenes were filmed on the Monterey
Peninsula? Check out Monterey Movie Tours, which will
take you to famous film sites in Monterey, Pacific Grove,
Pebble Beach, and Carmel—while you watch the movie
scene on overhead monitors aboard a luxury motor coach.
Visitors can also find plenty of brochures outlining
self-guided tours of the many historic sights of Monterey
County.

Simply put, Monterey County
is an art, music, history, and nature
lover’s paradise.
With hundreds of modern and
fine art galleries, dozens of historical sites and performance venues,
museums offering a peek into the
region’s rich history and culture,
an unparalleled aquarium, and a
climate that knows no extremes, the
Monterey Peninsula is buzzing with
events and activities year-round.
With average temperatures hovering between 57 and 60 degrees
and nearly 300 rain-free days, just
whip out your calendar, close your
eyes and pick a month.
“It really doesn’t matter when
you visit—this is definitely a fourseason destination,” says Paulette
Lynch, executive director of the
Arts Council for Monterey County.

The Big Sur International Marathon
is easily summed up by its slogan: “Running on the Edge of the
Western World.” But that’s the only
easy thing about this breathtakingly
beautiful road race, held annually the
last Sunday in April.
“For the first five miles of the
race, you run through the serene
redwoods along Highway 1. When
you emerge from the woods setting,
suddenly there are mountains on one
side and the Pacific Ocean on the
other,” says Sally Smith, race registrar
and publications director. “It’s pretty
much all hills.”
The race, which starts at the
Pfeiffer Big Sur Ranger Station and
ends in Carmel, winds its way along
the curves of the two-lane coastal
highway, which climbs to approximately 600 feet at Hurricane Point.
When it began in 1986, the race
attracted about 1,800 runners. Now
in its 22nd year, the event has more
than doubled in size, with runners
from all 50 states and 22 countries
joining in the, uh, fun. —MM
“You can come anytime and not be stymied by the weather. This is a place of
incomparable beauty, and it also has very high-quality experiences and worldclass performances.”
Though many of the venues may be considered intimate by San Francisco or
New York standards, the performance and exhibit quality is superb and unique.
“Because of the size, it feels as if the performers are singing to you personally,”
says Lynch.
Built in 1844, First Theatre in Monterey is just that—the first theater built
in California—and it’s still operating. The Pacific Repertory Theatre in Carmel
is home to several award-winning productions described as “bold and daring
interpretations of the great plays that engage, excite, educate, and inspire.”
Each year, the peninsula is jump-started in February with the Annual John
Steinbeck Birthday Celebration, the Monterey County Vintners and Growers
Association’s “Passport Weekend,” and the legendary AT&T Pebble Beach
National Pro-Am, where spectators line the fairways to catch the celebrity
antics of, among others,
funny guys Bill Murray,
George Lopez, and Ray
Romano.

Blues Festival lets loose in June at
the 20-acre, open-air Monterey
Fairgrounds, which is also home to
the peninsula’s crown jewel of festivals: the Monterey Jazz Festival.
Known as the “longest-running
jazz festival in the world,” the festival marks its 50th anniversary this
year. The weekend-long event will
be held September 21–23 at the
very place it began. Tickets go on
sale March 30, when the performers
also will be announced.
“You’re going to see some old
favorites and emerging talent,” says
Timothy Orr, marketing and public
relations associate for the festival.
“The festival is a reflection of the
jazz world.”
Grammy-award winning trumpet player and composer Terence
Blanchard has been selected as the
festival’s 2007 Artist in Residence.
In addition to performing at the
festival, the New Orleans native will
work this year with young student
musicians in performances, clinics,
and one-on-one sessions at the Next
Generation Festival and Summer
Jazz Camp.
Gerald Wilson, a Grammynominated modern-jazz composer,
arranger, and band leader, has been
commissioned to write the festival’s
50th-year theme.
“Gerald has been a longtime
friend of the festival and has written
several other commissions for the
festival over the years,” Orr says.
“He is a real link from the swing era
to today—and he’ll be 89 this year!”
Throughout the year, several
cultural festivals—Greek, Italian,
Filipino, and Mexican, to name a
few—celebrate their heritage and
the peninsula’s history with authentic music, dance, art, and ethnic
food.
The year comes to a beautiful
close with a delightful holiday celebration, “Christmas in the Adobes.”
Held in Monterey’s historical downtown, the festival includes park
rangers and performers who greet
Great Grapes
visitors while dressed in period clothing from the 1830s
and ’40s. Luminarias gently light the path as guests stroll
from one authentic adobe to the next, each of which hosts
a special event.
“You can really feel what life must have been like during that period,” Lynch says. “And the luminarias create a
special magic all their own.”
To end the year, Monterey hosts its long-running “First
Night” on New Year’s Eve, where generations of families
and friends usher in the new year with an alcohol-free evening of music, art, dance, food, and revelry.
“It’s a very welcoming, comfortable, safe environment—and it’s thrilling,” Lynch says.
Wines from the Heart, a shop in Portola Plaza
With more than 70 wineries, 127 wine-grape
growers and more than
two dozen tasting rooms,
Monterey County is rapidly earning a reputation
for its world-class premium boutique labels.
“Walking into a tasting room in Monterey
County is like stepping
back in time,” says Dave
Muret, marketing director for Paraiso Vineyards.
“No pretense, no snobbery. Just warm hospitality and small-production
Pastoral Perfection
Monterey County’s 99-mile stretch of coastline offers
premium outdoor activities for adventurers of all kinds.
Hikers, cyclists, and backpackers will find that the area
offers many opportunities to explore. From Big Sur north
to Elkhorn Slough, myriad trails offer a unique up-closeand-personal peek at the abundant flora and fauna.
Surfing business travelers will be tempted to ditch a
seminar, shed their pinstripe suits for wetsuits, and head
out for an offshore “board meeting” at any of the many
quality surf breaks.
The Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary also is
artisan wines you may
not have seen before.
And as often as not, the
person pouring you that
prized vintage is the

Rich, fertile soil mixed
with a cool, foggy climate
means that Monterey

and gentlest ripening
season in the state. The
pampered grapes produce
some of the world’s finest

Pinot Noirs, Cabernets,

Each year, hundreds of thousands of monarch butterflies migrate to Pacific
Grove, their wintering grounds. October through early March is the premium
time for a once-in-a-lifetime glimpse at these delicate, mysterious creatures.
Whale-watching tours led by marine biologists are available year-round. Trip
lengths vary, depending on the time of year. You can catch gray whales from midDecember through April. Humpback and blue whales migrate through the sanctuary May through mid-December. And there’s always a very good chance you’ll
see frolicking dolphins, sea lions, and sea otters.
Leisurely kayaking through Elkhorn Slough is a wonderful way to get a closeup view of otters and harbor seals. However, the area is a bird lovers’ haven.
Elkhorn Slough is a migratory path for rare and endangered shorebirds, including
the brown pelican, snowy plover, and the peregrine falcon. It’s home to more than
340 species of migratory and resident birds. Hikes through the slough will excite
even the most experienced birder.
Auto and motorcycle enthusiasts will want to mark their calendars and head

Art Finds a Home
After the 1906 earthquake devastated San Francisco, displaced artists
headed south in search of a haven to
rebuild their studios and their lives.
Their vision of this Shangri-La would
embrace their many talents and bohemian lifestyles.
Carmel welcomed the artists with
open arms, and it rapidly became
the creative enclave they were seeking. Today, the village by the sea has
become an artistic metropolis, luring
painters, sculptors, writers, actors,
dancers, and musicians from around
the world. The artistic spirit that
founded Carmel is still very much
alive.
With more than 40 galleries, six
major theaters, several smaller venues,
and countless studios, Carmel boasts
many of the world’s most influential

creative talent and draws first-class
performances.
“The type of art is incredibly
varied,” says Paulette Lynch, executive director of the Arts Council for
Monterey County.
“Artists come here because it is
such a beautiful place and they feel
that, although it’s a hard way to make
a living, there is so much to stimulate
them. They can interact easily with
other artists, as well as be inspired
by the natural beauty of the environment.”
Among the standout artists to

Just footsteps from historical Cannery

quintessential experience: The Monterey
Bay Aquarium.
Located at the end of the fabled
oceanfront walk, the three-story
aquarium’s unobtrusive yet distinctive architecture belies the magnificent
world-renowned displays of underwater
splendors that await inside.
“It’s simply the best aquarium in the
world,” says Ken Peterson, senior public
relations manager. “Folks are awestruck
and delighted by the animals and living
exhibits: a three-story kelp forest that
feels like a sunlit cathedral and absolutely gorgeous exhibits of jellyfish.”
Not to mention the nattily dressed
penguins and adorable sea otters. Tip:
Don’t miss the feeding shows.
“Compared with many aquariums,
it’s a light and airy place that gives you
the feeling of swimming underwater,
without getting wet,” Peterson says.
“We offer experiences both grand and
intimate.”
With roughly 35,000 animals and
plants on display, the aquarium will
enchant adults and children alike.
Other must-see exhibits: Splash Zone,
a family-friendly marine playground
