Monterey Plaza photo and Monterey Bay shown above
The Monterey Plaza and
Monterey
Plaza Hotel offer a European look and feel. Not inexpensive, the
accommodations at the bayside hotel normally begin in the mid-$200's for
a night time stay. It's the nicest hotel on this side of the bay at
Cannery Row and those who've tried it have thoroughly enjoyed the rooms
and ambience this hotel offers.
Seen in the lower portion of the
photo above is a set of steps providing public access to a narrow strip
of sand and beach where kayaks can be launched. Not particular large,
this is a modest sunbathing beach. Across the bay are Monterey's best
beaches, the Monterey State Beach and the Fort Ord Dunes State Beach,
perfect for family picnics, beach afternoons, morning strolls, romantic
sunsets and miles of sand.
Along this plaza is a
hotel, restaurants and shops. It is located next to the Steinbeck
Plaza with additional shopping and dining, and nearby Monterey Bay
Aquarium. For a lovely, tucked away view, this vista can be seen from
the sidewalks next to the hotel. |
