Welcome to Monterey, California!
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.
Now famous as one of California’s top tourist destinations Monterey has much to offer. The Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row and the Pier are just a few of the many attractions found here. Great restaurants, excellent shopping, golf and the proximity to Big Sur and Carmel by the Sea make this a great travel destination.
