Monterey Emerges as Premier Spring Destination for Sporting Events and Outdoor Adventure

By MGN EditorialMarch 20, 2026 at 08:44 PM

Monterey, California offers a unique blend of world-class sporting events and boundless opportunities for outdoor recreation, making it an ideal spring getaway destination.

Monterey, California has emerged as the premier spring destination for a 'sportscation', blending the excitement of major sporting events with endless opportunities for outdoor adventure, according to a recent announcement from the Inns of Monterey. The coastal California city is hosting a number of high-profile sporting events this spring, including the Monterey Pro Golf Tournament, the Amgen Tour of California cycling race, and the Monterey Motorsports Reunion. Visitors can arrive early or extend their stay to take advantage of the region's natural assets, from hiking and biking the scenic trails of the Monterey Peninsula to hitting the slopes at nearby ski resorts. 'Monterey offers the perfect balance of world-class sporting events and boundless outdoor recreation,' said Inns of Monterey spokesperson Samantha Wilkins. 'Whether you're here for the big game or just looking to getaway, you'll find plenty of ways to stay active and soak up the California sunshine.' In a related report, real estate expert Stephanie Duran of Veritas Real Estate Partners discussed the importance of outdoor access when choosing a home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Duran noted that proximity to trails, ski slopes, and the surrounding natural landscape is a top priority for many homebuyers in the area. 'Santa Fe's outdoor amenities are a major draw for residents and visitors alike,' Duran told HelloNation. 'Being able to step out your front door and immediately access nature is a huge selling point in this market.' The maritime industry has long recognized the value of coastal communities that offer a mix of sporting, recreational, and tourism opportunities. As more travelers seek active, nature-focused getaways, destinations like Monterey and Santa Fe are well-positioned to capitalize on this trend.
