| Elephant Seals - Birds & Animals of the Monterey Peninsula Series |
These incredible animals can be seen at the Elephant Seal Rookery on the Big Sur Coast about 8 miles North of San Simeon. The rookery has a population of about 8,000. The mating season (and the best time to see them) is from December to April. Another good place to see them is at Ano Nuevo, North of Monterey. |

| Big Sur Coast - What a Drive! | |
 |
|
| If you are in a hurry, then don't take the drive along the Big Sur Coast between Carmel in Monterey County and Cambria (San Luis Obispo County. But when you have the time and want a visual treat - this is the way to go! You will see steep cliffs, rugged canyons as you drive. Be prepared to pull over frequently to take a closer look and to take pictures! The drive is approximately 77 miles and about 1 1/2 hours - not counting stops! |

| Locke Paddon Park, Marina, CA |
 |
| Locke Paddon Park in Marina is a "vernal pond", which is a salt marsh. It is one of the few protected wetlands in the county. It is a good bird watching location. I have seen white egrets and great blue herons here. The park also has picnic tables and a walking path around it. Contact the City of Marina Parks & Recreation Department for access and use rules and guidelines: (831) 884-1253. More Info about Marina, CA |

| Monterey's Cannery Row |
 |
This is the waterfront area that was made famous by John Steinbeck. This is probably one of the more popular destinations for tourists. A visit to Monterey just would not be complete without a visit to Cannery Row. There were once a number of sardine canning factories located here. The best way to see this historic street is to walk. There are lots of great shops, hotels and restaurants here. |

| Sunset Center, Carmel, California |
 |
| For Forty years the popular Carmel Sunset Center was hosting cultural events such as singers, actors, music concerts and more. After decades of use, the center was tired. For a period of about 1 1/2 yrs the center was closed for renovations. Bruno Weil of director of the Carmel Bach Festival said "It's a miracle, the acoustics are unbelievable." Now the center is a work of art visually as well as acoustically. |
