Monterey is known for its sense of community and hospitality with a history that’s part of its charm and evident in the adobes, gardens, mission bells and lighthouses. Point Pinos Lighthouse is the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the West Coast and visitors can tour the lighthouse on this remarkable bit of the Monterey Peninsula. Old Monterey is the heart of the historic downtown area and perfect blend of Monterey’s past and the modern, charming seaside town it is today.
Cannery Row, the one-time center of the sardine-packing industry, was immortalised by novelist John Steinbeck. Today, it's a popular strip of shops, restaurants, bars and the world renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium. Further down, you'll find Fisherman’s Wharf which is a great place for a mooch and whale watching tours.
