Hotels in Monterey Bay, United States

Monterey Bay sits on California's central coast, with a mild Mediterranean climate that keeps temperatures between 50s-70s F (10-25 C) year-round. This region is famous for the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row, where you can explore historic sardine-canning factories turned into shops and seafood restaurants. In spring and summer, kayak in the bay to see sea otters and harbor seals, or join a whale-watching tour for gray whales migrating from April to December; winter storms offer dramatic coastal views, and the dry, foggy summers make it perfect for hiking along the Monterey Peninsula's 17-Mile Drive.
