While many guests come for our stunning coastline, the Monterey Peninsula is also a paradise for collectors, history lovers, and treasure hunters. Tucked away in our historic towns are some of California’s best antique shops, each with its own unique character.
To help you plan your next adventure, we’ve created a special guide to our favorite antiquing destinations, all just a short drive from our lodge:
- Monterey: Home to the massive Cannery Row Antique Mall, where you can find everything from nautical artifacts to mid-century gems.
- Carmel-by-the-Sea: Stroll through high-end boutiques filled with investment-grade European furniture, fine art, and rare decorative arts.
- Pacific Grove: Explore charming shops perfect for finding nostalgic collectibles and unique vintage home décor.
- Moss Landing: Our “insider secret” – a tiny fishing village packed with shops specializing in Early California style and eclectic finds.
A full day of discovery deserves a comfortable evening to relax and admire your new treasures. Let The Olympia Lodge be your perfect home base for your antiquing getaway.
We invite you to use the handy-dandy Antique & Collectables in the Monterey Bay Area Guide we’ve put together for you, book your stay and start planning your treasure map.
