March is the perfect time to visit Monterey, Carmel-By-The-Sea, Point Lobos and Big Sur. The weather is beautiful, wildflowers are blooming, and if you start your day early to do a scenic drive down Highway 101 or hike at Point Lobos State Natural Reserve you will have it too yourself without the crowds.
