Shopping is the favored activity of travelers world-wide and visitors to Monterey County have boundless opportunities to indulge in this pastime. Certain destinations are well-known for their bounty, such as Carmel’s Ocean Avenue and the enchanting mouth of the valley shopping centers, The Barnyard and The Crossroads. Take time to stroll the cobblestone paths and enjoy unusual architecture, and beautiful landscaping these destinations offer.

Old Monterey is bustling with young, hip people and places to shop. There’s a trendy boutique and a unique gift shop on every corner.
Pacific Grove has become a womens’ fashion destination, with high-end and affordable women’s boutiques springing up in the historic downtown area.

It’s also worth the trip to Old Town Salinas where you’ll find a terrific selection of fashionable boutiques and lots of antiques.
Often, the very best finds are on the path less traveled so, we recommend that you take it, wherever in Monterey County it may lead. When you come across something really special, let us know about it. We may publish your recommendation in our next issue.
