Moon Monterey & Carmel (Seventh Edition) - With Santa Cruz & Big Sur

"From its wonderland of marine life to its low-key approach to the high life, Monterey Bay encapsulates the California dream. This book gives you what you need to experience it all: itineraries for getaways to Monterey, Carmel, and Santa Cruz -- plus a Big Sur road trip; the best places to sample the local seafood, from fish tacos to barbequed oysters; the beaches for surfing, scenery, and sunsets; advice on outdoor recreation, including kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and scuba diving; recommendations for wine-tasting in Carmel and the Central Coast." --

About the author

Stuart Thornton fell in love with California while working the Big Sur Ranger Station after college. At work, he provided visitors with all sorts of information about the region, from the best places to camp to the best meal in the area. On his days off, he took his own advice and regularly sought out the top spots for hiking, backpacking, surfing, and snorkeling along that striking coastal region.

Stuart later moved to nearby Monterey to become a staff writer for the Monterey County Weekly, where he is still a contributor. He is the proud author of Moon Coastal California, Moon Santa Barbara & the Central Coast, Moon Spotlight Cambria & San Simeon, and Moon California Road Trip. In addition, Stuart has contributed to National Geographic Education, and Relix Magazine.

Stuart spends his time off searching for the next secluded beach, uncrowded wave, or mountaintop vista. Learn more about his adventures and projects by visiting stuartthornton.com.
