| Weather Alert for Monterey Peninsula, Ca. - Snow Expected to Continue Thru Christmas... |
|
|
| The weather in Monterey, especially near the harbor area is unseasonably cold this year. A thin layer of snow has settled over the beach, rocks and roof tops of Fisherman's Wharf. It's rumored there is ice skating in the Custom House Plaza area. The ocean is very calm, with minimal waves due to the thin coating of ice over the water. But WARNING it is not (yet) thick enough for you to walk on water, much less ice skate on. Please dress warmly. |

| Sea Gulls Birds & Animals of the Monterey Peninsula Series by Eileen Begley |
 Seagulls are probably the best known of the coastal birds. Gulls are known to be intellient and curious birds. Gulls are not popular with everyone particularly when they nest on homes and other buildings. People use everything from fake owls to spikes to keep them from landing. |
| Gulls will eat just about anything. Go to the end of either of the Fisherman's Wharves when the boats come in. The fishermen will throw the fish parts to them and you get to see some great acrobatics in action! |

| Point Sur Light House - Big Sur Coast, California |
 This is a beautiful lighthouse and location. It is great to see it at anytime. But if you can, go on a Moonlight Lighthouse Tour! Then you get to see the lighthouse at work. To visit this lighthouse it is by guided tour only. Wear good walking shoes and comfortable clothes. If it's at night dress warmly and brace youself for the wind. You park below in the parking lot and walk up the hill. The walk and view along the way is gorgeous. It's less than a mile. The tours are first come, first served, reservations not accepted. So arrive early as numbers are limited. |

| Commercial Wharf or the Fisherman's Wharf |
 |
If you have only been to the popular Fisherman's Wharf with all the stores and numerous restaurants, than you have missed out. Municipal Wharf 2 as it is officially known is the commercial pier for the fisherman and is east of the better known Wharf. This is a working pier. This is a pier where you can fish also and no license is required. There are two restaurants located here and also the home of the Monterey Peninsula Yacht Club. You can buy fresh fish here - straight off the boats. It's well worth the stroll to see this workhorse of a pier. |

This is a great park. There is a path around the lake (though you may have to share it with the Canadian Geese.) The path is 1.2 miles long and is a paracourse with a series of 18 exercise stations. Dennis the Menace Playground is also located here. There is also a skate board park and you can rent paddle boats. There is a baseball park for Little League use and there are BBQ and picnic facilities for group use. There is also a Youth Center & Dance Studio. |
