McWay Falls
Beautiful water fall....
One lesser known spot is Jack’s Peak. It is within 10 minutes from downtown Monterey. It is the biggest contiguous Monterey Pine forest in the world. It is one of our favorite hikes. It is relatively easy and you have a view of the entire Monterey bay and even Santa Cruz on a clear day.

This is our favorite Japanese restaurant. Food is good and price is right. It can be busy during dinner time. Once you get a table, service is very fast.

The restaurant located at the Sanctuary Beach Resort. It has a great view. Prices are higher due to its location. They do have sunset special, but you need to ask. Mixed reviews on the food....
