Monterey, California is a great spot for pets. For pet-friendly hotels, you have Best Western, Motel  6, and The Hyatt Regency. The city has a vast selection of outdoor dining spots that allow dogs, including El Palomar Mexican Restaurant, First Awakenings, and Indian Summer.

If you’re the outdoorsy type, you’ll have a blast bringing your dog to Monterey’s beaches and trails. Monterey State Beach stretches from Highway 1 down to Fisherman’s Wharf and extends to the scenic Monterey Recreation Trail. Asilomar State Beach in Pacific Grove also welcomes leashed dogs. Lastly, there’s Jack’s Peak County Park, including 8.5 miles of hiking trails.

But that’s not all. You can also bring your dog on a 45-minute boat tour of Monterey Bay, or on a whale-watching adventure. If you head to Ventana Vineyards, you can bring your leashed dog on the patio and the grounds. End the day with a trip to Chateau le Paws Pet Boutique where you can buy pet bakery items and have your dog groomed. They also offer doggie day care, pet spa services, and PAWS limousine service—in case you can’t drop him off yourself. A perfect trip for pet R&R!
