⛵ Monterey & Carmel

Cioppino, clam chowder & the most scenic seafood shacks

Monterey’s Cannery Row is the spiritual home of cioppino – a hearty seafood stew born from Italian fishermen. Order a bowl at Phil’s Fish Market or Old Fisherman’s Grotto, and mop up every drop with sourdough.

Take the 17‑Mile Drive through Pebble Beach, then stop in Carmel‑by‑the‑Sea for olallieberry pie – a Central Coast berry that makes for an unforgettable dessert.
