6 Best Day Trips from San Francisco | Condé Nast Traveler

"Whether you want to explore Monterey by bike, surrey (sort of a pedal-powered car), kayak, or stand up paddleboard, Pacific Grove Adventures has the right means of transportation for you. Arriving at the Pacific Grove Adventures' office, you might think it looks familiar. It should—one of the filming sites for HBO's Big Little Lies is Lover's Point Beach, where the shop is located. The little cove might be idyllic with its blue waters and surrounding cliffs, but it's unfortunately always way too crowded. So grab your bike, and head off to go see the quieter beauty of Monterey." - Ana Kamin, Jenna Scatena
