Maritime Monterey
Monterey is a city on California’s rugged central coast. Its Cannery Row, a one-time center of the sardine-packing industry, was immortalized by novelist John Steinbeck. Today, it's a popular strip of gift shops, seafood restaurants and bars in converted factories. Check out dog-friendly Cannery Row! Also famous is Monterey Bay Aquarium, with thousands of marine animals and plants on display in underwater and interactive exhibits.
