Monterey Bay is probably one of the most pristine beautiful places in the United States! I have lived ALL over the U.S. in my life, but when I was ready to retire, this was the place for me.

Otters can be seen from the shore frolickknf and playing with their babies as they ride the waves on their BACKS! Whales can also be seen spouting a couple hundred yards from shore, AND some times they'll leap out of the water and splash down, shooting water into the air.

Truly majestic and...

Like San Francisco to the north Monterey Bay weather can fool you. The warmest time of year is September, October and November and you can freeze your backside June, July and August.
