Monterey and the Monterey Peninsula are a fascinating melting pot of
culture. Monterey Bay is a large, protected bay located in the middle
of the California coast. Because of its geographic location, much of
Monterey’s livelihood has long been dependent on the bay which gave it
its name. Originally, Monterey was a center for sardine fishing, and
much of that Cannery Row culture has bred the kitschy, tourist trap
environment that makes up the waterfront today. There are, however, a
few things of interest available to the discerning sightseer. |
