About Monterey
Monterey is the perfect destination for travelers who love everything ocean. The whale watching is some of the best in California, and kids and adults alike will enjoy the chance to get up close and personal with the sea life on display at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Cannery Row is now home to quirky shops and family entertainment instead of sardines and factory workers, but the rich history of this waterfront attraction remains. Monterey’s beaches are the real star – picturesque rocky coastline dotted with tide pools, crashing Pacific waves and sandy coves perfect for a barefoot walk in the afternoon breeze.
