Cannery Row

Cannery Row could be described as the quintessential Monterey experience. Embodied by its charming and historical atmosphere is a combination of recreation, leisure and luxury along breathtaking coastline, the jewel of the Monterey Peninsula.

Forever immortalized by John Steinbeck’s classic novel of the same name, Cannery Row is one of the Central Coast’s most popular destinations. Today, this century-old sardine-canning district boasts more than 150 specialty stores, 25 restaurants, a resort hotel and spa, a collection of luxury inns and moderately priced family accommodations. It is also the location of the world-famed Monterey Bay Aquarium. What’s even more pleasing is that everything on Cannery Row is within comfortable walking distance.

Cannery Row is home to some of the finest restaurants on the Monterey Peninsula. The variety of eateries tempts the finest of palates and satisfies the pocketbooks of family diners. Visitors shop, stroll and relax as they traverse this charming oceanfront street and its outdoor plazas. From kayaking, surrey bike rentals and walking history tours to fourstar dining, nightlife and Monterey County wine tasting, there is something for everyone on Cannery Row.
