Venture out of the city with trips to Pacific Grove (Asilomar State Beach & Pacific Grove Oceanview Boulevard), Monterey (Monterey Bay, Monterey Bay Aquarium, &more) and Carmel (Carmel River State Beach & Point Lobos). There's lots more to do: head outdoors with Outdoor Activities, look for gifts at Bookshop Santa Cruz, kick back and relax at Natural Bridges State Beach, and cruise along West Cliff Drive.
