Local Favorites in Monterey, Carmel & Santa Cruz
The spots the regulars return to: fish tacos on the wharf, wine in Carmel Valley, and the bakery that sells out by nine.
Skip the tourist traps on Cannery Row and head where locals actually eat, drink, and spend their weekends. These are the places worth knowing before you arrive.
