Best places: Historical landmarks in Pacific Grove, United States

Venerable, circa-1771 church featuring an on-site museum, a serene courtyard, tours & more.

Iconic waterside complex & event site featuring seafood eateries, shops & water-sports activities.

👍 Historical tour today. Very small rooms with even smaller bathrooms. Triangle pattern to the layout. Classic FLR. Great views from most rooms. Great docents helping with explanations. Frank's ideas are beautiful but not practical.

Oldest continually operating lighthouse on the Pacific, offering tours of Victorian-era building.

👍👍 I loved this place! very serene and beautiful place to visit with great historical significance. If you are anywhere near here this place it is well worth your visit and donation (entry fee) lol great gift shop many little gifts for loved ones as well.

Built 1847–1849, this museum in an old government building has exhibits on the history of Monterey.

👍 Good to see a cross-section of characters through the history of Monterrey. Would be great to have a smartphone-based audio narration that a person could listen to that describes the people depicted in the monument. The area is a nice place to sit and enjoy the sunshine and see the bay.

👍👍 Our favorite art gallery in Carmel by the Sea. Every time we are in Carmel we stop by and enjoy the lovely gardens, the beautiful galleries of fine art, and the recent key features.

👍👍 Cool tree, with a cool origin, right in a nice little park. Great spot to stop and relax for a little bit.

😐 I was there in November and was lucky that I had great weather. This point has some information signs about this area and some very old trees. Otherwise it's not that spectacular at this point. The whole thing about 17 Miles Drive is beautiful and there are so many different types of vegetation alon...
