Hotels in Monterey Bay, United States

Monterey Bay, on California's central coast, has a mild Mediterranean climate with summer highs around 70°F (21°C) and winter lows near 50°F (10°C), famous for the Monterey Bay Aquarium and historic Cannery Row. In winter and spring, you can spot gray whales migrating offshore on a boat tour, while summer and fall are perfect for kayaking in the calm waters of the bay or hiking the trails at Point Lobos State Reserve. If you visit during the rainy season from November to March, you'll find cheaper hotel rates and fewer crowds at the Fisherman's Wharf, where you can still enjoy fresh clam chowder and sea lions barking on the docks.
