* sitting on the bench or walking along the trail at "Lovers' Point at Pacific Grove (next to Monterey.. you can watch seals, otters, and at times whales. There is less expensive hotel right there also. Very simple and clean. When you just need a bed, and a great view and can get your own coffee.

* Montonya De Oro.. I love camping there but you can go for just the day

* Cambria.. it seems like a fairyland place to me

* Princess Campground at Sequoia National Park.. you can camp among the Giant Sequoia or climb up on a stump and have a picnic. And just down the road is Hume Lake that is even more beautiful when you go before the crowds are there.
