A little piece of California
paradise, Monterey is famous as the locale of John Steinbeck's novel Cannery Row.
Located on the site of the major seafood harvesting and canning operations shut
down in 1973, Cannery
Row today offers numerous tourist attractions, shops, family entertainment
venues and fine restaurants. Found just next to this district is the Monterey
Aquarium. Visitors should allow time to experience all of the live exhibits
of various species of marine life displayed in their natural habitat. One of the
best places to purchase fresh fish is at the working pier named Fisherman's
Wharf, originally built in 1846 to accommodate fishing vessels. Both the Monterey
State Beach and Zmudowski
State Beach offer such marine-based leisure opportunities as boating, surfing
and ocean fishing. Commonly used as an excursion route by the elite in the 1880s,
the 17-Mile
Drive is a private toll road offering coastal scenery and access to both
Carmel and the Pebble
Beach Golf Links.
