Monterey, immortalized in John Steinbeck’s novel Cannery Row, once
had a thriving fishing industry.
Today, visitors to Cannery Row find restaurants, a popular fishing
dock, and the acclaimed Monterey Bay Aquarium at its north end.
Bay cruises launch from Fisherman’s Wharf, home to seafood shops,
restaurants, and Monterey State Historic Park, site of historic
adobe buildings and a museum.
