Monterey Parks & Nature

Monterey's coastal landscape features the world-renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium, housed in a former sardine cannery on Cannery Row. The area offers diverse marine observation opportunities, from whale-watching excursions in the deep submarine canyon to shore-based viewing at San Carlos Beach. Historic sites like Monterey State Historic Park and the Lower Presidio Historic Park preserve California's early political history and military fortifications, while natural spaces range from the dunes of Monterey State Beach to the landscaped Memory Garden.
