Monterey, CA. Last year we had a pretty warm christmas. It's a high tourist area in the summer, but not so much in the winter. So, it's more enjoyable in the winter time. The beach is absolutely gorgeous there. It is really close to Big Sur, which is beautiful, and you could do some hiking. It's about a 2hr drive to San Fransisco so you could easily make a day trip there. Santa Cruz is about 40 minutes away.
I LOVE Monterey, I hope to move back there when I'm done with school. |
