Winding along the Pacific Coast Highway, you'll find yourself caught between mountains and sea in a landscape that defies belief. Bixby Bridge arches dramatically over a coastal canyon, providing the perfect photo opportunity. At Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, witness McWay Falls tumbling directly onto the beach below. Pfeiffer Beach rewards visitors with purple-tinged sand and massive rock formations with wave-carved keyholes. Los Padres National Forest offers hiking trails through ancient redwood groves where sunlight filters through in cathedral-like beams. Accommodations fill quickly, so book well ahead. Local tip: bring provisions as services are scarce along this magnificent stretch of coastline.

The Stevenson Monterey

The Stevenson Monterey

10/10 Excellent
"Good central location hotel. Clean room, lot of upgrades were made, shower was nice and had comfortable bed. My only problem was No Milk or Half & Half down at the lobby by the coffee machine. Most small hotels/motels provide a little breakfast to start the day but this hotel does not. The lease you can do is buy 2-3 gallons of milk for $20 for your guest to enjoy a good cup of coffee and not use this horrible powder."
