Before or after the Monterey Bay Aquarium,  walk around to the  
restaurant behind Bubba Gumps (It used to be called the Outrigger,  
but I am not sure about now) and buy some takeout Clam Chowder, then  
take the stairs down to the little piece of beach and tidepools below  
to eat it.

If you happen to be in Monterey on July 4, stake out a spot on the  
Beach to watch the fireworks.  portable barbeques are optional.
