For those headed to San Francisco this weekend (or are already there) for Super Bowl 50, stunning Monterey is a mere 60 minutes south of the game. Take the iconic drive along the Pacific coast for a post Super Bowl destination and explore Big Sur or taste central coast wines on the beaches of Carmel.
You can even go right to the AT&T Pro Am Golf Tournament in Pebble Beach, beginning the day after Super Bowl. The tourney is a favorite among athletes and celebs, such as Bill Murray (Happy Groundhog's Day Mr. Murray!), Carson Daly, Phil Mickelson, Chris O’Donnell and Vijay Singh.
If you need some ideas on lodging or on what to do, here are four solid options.
