Santa Cruz, California Area Destinations. A 40-mile trip down Highway 1 is not only picturesque but it leads you to one of the jewels in the Northern California crown-the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Discover the largest marine sanctuary in the United States. Explore the bay’s different habitats through a variety of exhibits that recreate shallow tide pools, sandy beaches and the deep blue sea. Get an up-close-and-personal look at kelp forests, sea otters and creatures from the outer bay, including soup fin sharks, yellow fin tuna and sea turtles. About five miles south of Monterey, you’ll encounter the quaint town of Carmel. Nestled between the world famous Pebble Beach golf course to the north and the spectacular Big Sur coast to the south, Carmel has created a European-style retreat. Its internationally-known 17-mile drive features some of the most breathtaking vistas on the planet.
