Evidence shows that people were first drawn to Monterey thousands of years ago for its fish and wildlife. That is largely why people settled in this coastal community over the past few centuries and a good part of the reason why this unique West Coast port of call attracts so many people to its shores today.
From many vantage points throughout the city you can take in great vistas of the craggy shores of Monterey. The expansive Monterey Bay stretches out before you and in its waters you observe a dazzling array of activity produced by passing sailboats, fishing trollers, seabirds, numerous mammals and other busy travelers of the sea. This highly diverse and rich ecosystem, considered a national treasure, is thankfully federally protected. To see such a vast array of marine life---including plants and other creatures of the earth---on the fringes of a large town is truly remarkable.
