🇺🇸 Monterey stole my heart 🫶🧢 + hidden gems you can’t miss!
Drove to Monterey and Big Sur today — loved the moody fog and cool coastal weather! ☁️🌊 The ecosystem here is amazing: so many birds, fish, and tons of sea lions! 🦭 🍽️ Two restaurant recommendations: Sandbar & Grill 🦞 – A seafood spot on Old Fisherman’s Wharf. Their clam chowder is a must-try, and the calamari is uniquely tender. Perfect for a walk by the ocean after! Las Marias Bar & Grill 🇲🇽 – Authentic Mexican food. Huge portions and full of flavor — you know it’s good when it’s packed with locals. We loved the tacos and quesadillas! 😌 📍 Two must-visit spots: Sister City Park 🦭 – Saw THOUSANDS of sea lions here… absolutely breathtaking. We watched for 30 minutes — it’s like stepping into a sea lion wonderland! Antique Mall 🏺 – A huge vintage/antique store full of character and history. So many unique treasures inside — great for a fun browse! #CaliforniaTravel #Monterey #MontereyEats #TravelUSA #HiddenGems #SeaLeons #CoastalVibes
