“Watch the surfers at Santa Cruz if you don’t go surfing yourself.”
— TheGipper
hy Go?
For a different side of The Golden State — one that embraces the four seasons and is somewhat removed
from the big cities. Temperatures are mild year-round, providing ample opportunity to take in the area’s natural beauty.
Go hiking or bicycling along the rugged coast or through majestic redwood forests. The waterfront districts of Monterey,
Pacific Grove, and Santa Cruz call to fans of fishing, kayaking, surfing, and diving. Charming little towns such as Carmel
set the perfect scene to enjoy fine dining, wineries, shops, and galleries.
