Monterey County's Absolute Essentials

Monterey County features diverse landmarks ranging from the 80-foot McWay Falls in Big Sur to the historic Point Pinos Lighthouse, the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the West Coast. The region is home to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and the Monarch Grove Sanctuary, where thousands of butterflies overwinter in eucalyptus trees. Scenic routes like the 17-Mile Drive offer access to the Lone Cypress, a tree perched on a granite hillside for over 250 years.
