You can rent bikes and do a bike ride in Monterey. There are some wineries in the area. Carmel is nice for a day. There are places to do trail rides, I did that once and it was fun but I don't remember the stable. You can also do kayaking nearby - although when I did that it required rain suits because the water is cold. You can walk on the beach near Spanish Bay. Go to Gilroy to Garlic World. Maybe a side trip to Santa Cruz?

Aquarium
17-mile drive
Carmel

Uh, it's like a one day visit. MAYYYYYBE two days. There's the aquarium, and then there's .... the street. With shops and restaurants.

I live in San Francisco, went there for a day, and fully felt like I'd seen the whole thing after that.

Are you open to going to other places in the Bay Area?

Any and all advice welcome!!!

We are there for one week in April!!!
