Monterey County is legendary for its dog-friendly beaches, hotels, shops, restaurants and wineries, and rightly so. DogTrekkers would be hard-pressed to find a more welcoming place for pet-friendly travelers.

Monterey County is big, stretching south through Big Sur and east through the winery-rich Carmel Valley and into the Santa Lucia Mountains. Once you experience the doggone good times to be had here, you and your dog will come back again and again.
