Monterey is undeniably a very beautiful place
in California. Its great location makes it easily accessible for tourists as
well so it is no wonder that the area is a great favorite among local and
international travelers alike. One of the best things about Monterey is its
abundant water resources. In this regard, you can expect that most of its
attractions have something to do with water. The Monterey Bay Aquarium
showcases local sea life; some of the most notable exhibits include the tank of
silver anchovies, sea otters, and the large jellyfish tank wherein the
jellyfish look fluorescence in the dark.
A lot of people say that the Fisherman's
Wharf is the best place to watch the sea lions in Monterey and indeed, you can
really see impressive marine wildlife here. However, locals know that the best
place is actually a short walk away from the area; this wharf has a fishing
warehouse in operations and many sea lions call this area their home. With all
these attractions in mind, you can definitely say that Monterey is a great
place to have a family vacation.
But of course, another important thing you
should consider is looking for the perfect Monterey
Family Lodging. There are many Monterey Family hotels in the area including
the Monterey Marriott in Calle Principal, its upscale rooms are incredibly
luxurious and its skybridge connects it to the Monterey Conference Center so
this Monterey Family Lodging is perfect for business travelers as well.
Your kids will find Monterey’s family hotels welcoming and open to their unique style of vacationing. Boutique hotels and Bed and Breakfast inns
open their arms and hearts to families of all sizes and make your kids and
yourselves feel like you’ve come home after a long while instead of being
visitors. Even the chain hotels seem to
have taken on the spirit of Monterey’s
welcoming atmosphere and go out of their way to make sure that your children
are well cared for and that your vacation is as hassle free as it can be. Kid friendly luxuries include babysitting
services, cribs in the rooms and child-friendly continental breakfasts in many
of the area’s hotels. If you’re planning
on visiting the Monterey Bay Aquarium
consider staying at one of the hotels nearby so that when your whole group is exhausted
you can easily crash for an afternoon nap before heading out to see the town’s evening
sights.
