OVERVIEW
Pacific Grove, California: Sleepy Coastal Town Close to Lively Cannery Row
The oceanfront town of Pacific Grove shares its central California peninsula with the city of Monterey, but is far more serene than its cosmopolitan neighbor. Rows of Victorian houses line the streets, deer wander through residential areas, and thousands of butterflies congregate here during their southerly migration. Travel + Leisure named Pacific Grove one of America’s Best Little Beach Towns, noting that the beach is better suited for surfing and kayaking than swimming. Stroll the pathway that winds along the rocky shore, taking in the many native plants and bird colonies that make their homes on the 3-mile stretch.
The town’s interior is fairly small and easily walkable. Mom-and-pop-style shops and art galleries line the streets of downtown Pacific Grove. The area’s also home to the Museum of Natural History, where you can learn more about the monarch butterflies found throughout the town.
Head to nearby Monterey if you want to pick up the pace. The city’s Cannery Row, once the laid-back dock famously portrayed by John Steinbeck, has since been enlivened by themed restaurants, souvenir stalls, and a wax museum. The popular Monterey Bay Aquarium is located on one end of the strip, and has been featured by Fodor’s, Frommer’s, and the Discovery Channel for its immersive displays of local sea life. Here, you can watch sardines swim around you in a circular tank and see an open-ocean tank filled with sharks and sea turtles. Kids will love the interactive exhibits at the Splash Zone, which has a living, breathing kelp forest, as well as pools filled with starfish and sea urchins.
Hotel at a Glance: Olympia Lodge
This old-fashioned lodge on California’s Monterey Peninsula feels secluded, yet it’s within walking distance of almost everything that draws vacationers to the area. It’s adjacent to the West Coast’s oldest continuously operating lighthouse and a 5-minute walk from the beach and coastal walking trails. A half mile to the north is an 18-hole golf course, while a half mile to the southeast are the galleries, shops, and restaurants of downtown Pacific Grove.
- Where you’ll stay: a standard guest room with a down comforter. Optional upgrades to a private balcony or partial ocean view are available.
- Handmade wooden furniture and exposed wood beams lend old-fashioned charm.
- Mornings at the lodge begin with coffee and pastries on the house.
- Evening perk: The lodge offers complimentary coffee and tea service.
- See otters and jellyfish can be seen at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, just 2 miles away.
