Established by Father Junipero Serra in 1770, Monterey has a long and interesting history. It was once the capital of California for a short period, but it is now commonly known as the setting for many creative works such as novels. Because of Monterey's strategic location in California, a lot of couples and families can easily visit the area for a weekend getaway. There are so many attractions that draw travelers into Monterey but the most notable of these is its scenic coastline and peaceful atmosphere.

In addition, the Monterey Peninsula actually has the largest sea otters population in the California coastline. The marine wildlife found here is also one of the most popular attractions for tourists. Where else can you see seals, sea otters, and sea lions all year round and some migrating whales during the spring season?

Of course, you should stay at Monterey Hotels with a relaxed atmosphere to make your trip more enjoyable. Some of the Monterey accommodations we recommend include the Monterey Bay Inn because of its luxuries amenities that include aquarium-scenes and music on its wall monitors. Meanwhile, another recommended Monterey lodging is the Monterey Bay Lodge; its location near Lake El Estero makes it a favorite among travelers who want an easy access to the beach.
