1. Visit Monterey Bay Aquarium

Known for its incredible sea life exhibits, from playful otters to mesmerizing jellyfish, the aquarium delights visitors of all ages. For an extra special experience, book the Aquarium Past and Present Tour, which grants you exclusive behind-the-scenes access to areas not typically open to the public. It's a fun and educational way to immerse yourself in marine life, with a dash of history to celebrate its four decades of excellence.

2. Hike the Point Lobos State Natural Reserve
Nature lovers will feel right at home at Point Lobos State Natural Reserve. This picturesque coastal park offers easy trails that wind through jaw-dropping scenery. December is an especially magical time to visit, as it's prime season for spotting humpback whales, blue whales, and playful dolphins along the coast. Pack your binoculars and keep an eye on the horizon-you never know when these majestic creatures will make an appearance.

3. Family Golf on The Hay
Looking for some family-friendly golf? Head to The Hay, the Tiger Woods-designed short course at Pebble Beach Resorts. Perfect for golfers of all skill levels, this par-3 course is ideal for a quick round with the kids. The best part? Children 12 and under play for free, making it a fantastic way to introduce them to the game while enjoying quality time together. Plus, the sweeping views of the Pacific don't hurt!

Why settle for a regular road trip when you can cruise in style? Guests of Pebble Beach Resorts can borrow a Lexus and take a spin on the legendary 17-Mile Drive. This scenic route hugs the dramatic coastline, offering unforgettable views of the Pacific. Be sure to stop at iconic landmarks like The Lone Cypress, Bird Rock, and Seal Rock, where wildlife sightings and photo ops abound. It's the perfect way to soak in the area's natural beauty without breaking a sweat.

5. Cruise Cannery Row
No trip to Monterey is complete without a visit to Cannery Row.

About: Brian Weis

Brian Weis is the mastermind behind GolfTrips.com, a vast network of golf travel and directory sites covering everything from the rolling fairways of Wisconsin to the sunbaked desert layouts of Arizona. If there’s a golf destination worth visiting, chances are, Brian has written about it, played it, or at the very least, found a way to justify a "business trip" there.

As a card-carrying member of the Golf Writers Association of America (GWAA), International Network of Golf (ING), Golf Travel Writers of America (GTWA), International Golf Travel Writers Association (IGTWA), and The Society of Hickory Golfers (SoHG), Brian has the credentials to prove that talking about golf is his full-time job. In 2016, his peers even handed him The Shaheen Cup, a prestigious award in golf travel writing—essentially the Masters green jacket for guys who don’t hit the range but still know where the best 19th holes are.

Brian’s love for golf goes way back. As a kid, he competed in junior and high school golf, only to realize that his dreams of a college golf scholarship had about the same odds as a 30-handicap making a hole-in-one. Instead, he took the more practical route—working on the West Bend Country Club grounds crew to fund his University of Wisconsin education. Little did he know that mowing greens and fixing divots would one day lead to a career writing about the best courses on the planet.

In 2004, Brian turned his golf passion into a business, launching GolfWisconsin.com. Three years later, he expanded his vision, and GolfTrips.com was born—a one-stop shop for golf travel junkies looking for their next tee time. Today, his empire spans all 50 states, and 20+ international destinations.

On the course, Brian is a weekend warrior who oscillates between a 5 and 9 handicap, depending on how much he's been traveling (or how generous he’s feeling with his scorecard). His signature move" A high, soft fade that his playing partners affectionately (or not-so-affectionately) call "The Weis Slice." But when he catches one clean, his 300+ yard drives remind everyone that while he may write about golf for a living, he can still send a ball into the next zip code with the best of them.

Whether he’s hunting down the best public courses, digging up hidden gems, or simply outdriving his buddies, Brian Weis is living proof that golf is more than a game—it’s a way of life.
