In all directions, fun is a stone's throw from Lodi
If you've already experienced everything Lodi has to offer, you can turn your sights in virtually any direction to find a day trip that will be filled with food, fun shopping and some of California's most historic sites.
Monterey: Monterey Bay, an historic fishing and canning district built on the coast, is less than three hours away. The weather is cooler and at times a little wet, which can be a refreshing way to escape the Valley heat. One hot spot, Cannery Row, features shopping boutiques, dining and the famed Monterey Bay Aquarium. History and literature buffs can revel in the real life references to John Steinbeck's famous novel about the area in the 1930s.
For outdoor enthusiasts, try a boat tour or whale watching for a small fee.
To get to Monterey, take I-160 South and merge onto US-101 South. Then merge onto CA-156 West via exit 336, which becomes CA-1 south. Merge onto Del Monte Avenue. To get to Cannery Row, turn right on Foam Street and turn right onto Cannery Row. For more information, visit http://www.monterey.org.
