Monterey

Monterey is best known in California for Cannery Row, the former sardine-packing district immortalized in John Steinbeck’s novel of the same name. Set on Monterey Bay, the city pairs a working maritime past with the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which occupies a converted cannery on the waterfront. Monterey also served as the capital of Alta California under Mexican rule; the 1827 Custom House recalls that era in the historic downtown. Offshore waters belong to the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, a protected stretch of the central California coast.
