MONTEREY PENINSULA DESTINATION GUIDE

• With over 250 hotels and 12,000 guest rooms, Monterey has the feel of a small beach community but is still large enough to host large meetings and conferences.
• More than just a golfing destination: Although it is home to 25 premier golf courses, including the iconic Pebble Beach Golf Courses, Monterey also has more than 100 art galleries, 10 major museums, and offers an array of outdoor activities.
• Historical Cannery Row: Once known as the “Sardine Capital of the World,” it is now home to the world-famous Monterey Bay Aquarium, and dozens of seafront restaurants and local shops.
• A wine destination in its own right, the Central Coast has nine distinct AVAs and its vineyards grow 53 different wine grape varietals. Monterey is also the largest producer of pinot noir grapes in all of California!
