The Old Monterey Inn is south of San Francisco. Visitors can choose either the direct or scenic routes. Both are an easy drive to the Monterey-Peninsula.

The SCENIC COASTAL ROUTE takes visitors through wooded hills to Half Moon Bay-along the edge of the Pacific ocean-then inland through rich farmland to the majestic Monterey Bay - Approximately 3 hours. For information on the distances to other California Destinations, please scroll to the bottom of the page.

The DIRECT ROUTE guides visitors through and out of urban San Francisco to freeways, then across artichoke farmland to sights and sounds of Monterey Bay. Approximately 2 1/2 hours.
