Pros

  • I've only been to the one in Monterey, but when the water is clear, holy shit.
  • I love Monterey, Pacific Grove, and Carmel.
  • Monterey (I like Asilomar to stay at, right by Asilomar State Beach) or Carmel by the Sea would be amazing to look at also. You could even go down to Big Sur and Pfeiffer Beach.
  • We loved Monterey and Carmel. Seriously, just a dream!
  • Monterey is slightly smaller than SB but still lots to do. Monterey also has world class views and has that very special feel to it. Great location for a very romantic gateway. If you have a car, you must do the 17 mile drive from Monter...

Cons

  • Monterey is beautiful but that time in year you're gonna deal with fog pretty much every morning, sometimes doesn't clear until afternoon. Great food scene though if you don't mind the weather gamble.

Big Sur is a one in a lifetime thing though, and Monterey is super fun.
