The path started a few block from our hotel and made for a gret morning stroll to soak up the natural beauty.
We biked the trail from the Monterey Plaza Hotel all the way to Pacific Grove! Spectacular views! The weather was clear and warm!
We walked from the aquarium to Lovers Point which included going past the Harbour Seal colony where it is easy to stop and spend ages watching the seals. But don't just look over the ocean, also enjoy the buildings along the other side of the road. Makes you think you are in "Anne of Green Gables"!!
This is by far the best feature of the peninsula area, whether riding a bike or walking this is an awesome way to get around, to see the sites and to get some great excersise!
Best trail to run year-round in Monterey! The weather is always perfect and the trail has great views throughout.
We are so fortunate to have a trail for walkers, runners, and bicyclists amidst such beauty. Pay attention to the signs of bicycle lanes where the walkers should avoid. Just move to one side of it. The trail covers a very long distance, but you can make it fit your itinerary. One suggestion is to start at Lover's Point in Pacific Grove and walk to Cannery Row in Monterey, or onto the Wharf in Monterey. You will see nature at its best!
Gorgeous trail for all kinds of users, walkers, bikers and renters of the 'surreys' made for 4-6 people
We did a round trip extending from lover's point to the wharf, about 5 miles. Perfect walk, great vistas and people watching.
Having explored the town and the famous Cannery Row, walking along here from the diving centre direction through the trail is pleasant and gives the opportunity to stop at some little restaurants which provide take out also. lots of walkers, cyclists and joggers use this trail-seems popular with tourists and locals alike.
My wife and I walked this trail from Cannery Row to Lovers Point. It was a cool, damp, windy day but we still enjoyed the path. Views are spectacular and we saw seals catching an afternoon nap on the beach. A worthwhile walk (or bike ride). We would love to do it again on a bright sunny day
