There’s just something magical about al fresco dining around the beautiful Monterey Bay — ocean breezes, unforgettable views, and amazing local flavors. Some of my favorite spots to soak it all in include Schooners Monterey along the waterfront on Cannery Row, enjoying coastal vibes at Salt Wood Kitchen and Oysterette while looking out toward the beautiful sand dunes, and dining at Woodward Marine Market in Moss Landing where you might catch playful seals, sea lions, and otters right outside whi
