Few places on earth can live up to their own mythology, but Monterey is a notable exception. No matter what you’ve heard or seen in feature films, nothing can prepare you for the jaw-dropping beauty along Monterey’s fabled coast. Renowned author John Steinbeck drew considerable inspiration from area landmarks including Cannery Row, which he helped to immortalize in his novel of the same name. Meander down Monterey Old Fisherman’s Wharf to indulge in a piping hot bread bowl full of clam chowder, visit the acclaimed Monterey Bay Aquarium to see the spirited sea otter up-close, or book a boat tour, whale watching cruise or fishing trip to set sail on the open waters of the Monterey Bay.

The former sardine cannery is now a top attraction on Monterey’s Cannery Row with over 35,000 creatures representing over 550 sea life and marine species. Special exhibits include the Kelp Forest, the Open Sea Gallery and Splash Zone.
