Veterinarian Job Description

Do you like relaxing on the beach or scuba diving? Bluefish and Whalers Coves at Point Lobos, Lovers Point in Pacific Grove, and Monterey State Beach, San Carlos Beach and McAbee Beach in Monterey are popular beach dives for all levels of divers. How about golfing at the No. 1 rated  Public Course in the Country. Pebble Beach hosted its sixth U.S. Open in 2019, more than any other course over the last 50 years. Monterey County residents also enjoy miles of hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding trails. The area has a small town feel but is an easy drive to city life in San Jose and San Francisco.
