  • Monterey, a captivating city on California's central coast, is renowned for its captivating blend of natural beauty, historical significance, and abundant marine life. Nestled on the southern fringes of Monterey Bay, approximately 120 miles (190 kilometers) south of San Francisco, the city boasts a rich tapestry of captivating experiences.
    With a history that dates back centuries, Monterey holds a significant place in California's story. Originally inhabited by indigenous tribes such as the Rumsen Ohlone and Esselen, the area caught the attention of European explorers in the 16th century. Spanish explorers, including Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo and Sebastián Vizcaíno, arrived in the 17th century, and Monterey became the capital of Spanish and Mexican California.
    Monterey gained global recognition in 1849 during the California Gold Rush when it served as the state's first capital under American rule. The historic adobe buildings of Monterey's downtown, known as Old Monterey, still stand today, providing glimpses into its storied past. Cannery Row, made famous by author John Steinbeck, was once the heart of Monterey's sardine canning industry, and it now offers a lively waterfront area with shops, restaurants, and marine-themed attractions.

    I lived and worked in Monterey for six months after graduating from College back in the early 1980’s. Had a bad job experience there, so quit my job and moved back to Southern California where I grew up. I had always loved going to Monterey on vacations, but living there was not what I thought it would be. I found it to be very cold and impersonal, and very transient, especially since there was a large military presence back then. On Weekends, I would go 40 miles north to the town of Santa Cruz, which was much more like a Southern California town, similar to Santa Barbara, which is 25 miles north of where I live now. I have been back to Monterey since I moved away from there, and I must say it is much nicer now than when I lived there. The bike/walking path from Fisherman’s Wharf to Cannery Row and beyond was originally the railroad spur, which was what was there when I lived there. I did my senior project on Cannery Row, so I was up in Monterey at least one weekend per month while attending college in San Luis Obispo. Monterey is a nice place to visit, but not to live in my opinion.

    I live in this area. This is someplace I walk for my morning walks if you go past the aquarium up that hill and stay by the ocean it gets even more beautiful. That trail goes on for another long distance by the ocean and there is the town of Carmel and lots of other beaches in the area; and don’t forget about Big Sur. This is a great area to film. I’m from NY so I love watching you NY videos when I get homesick.

    I enjoyed your video and commentary so much. I grew up and went through high school and Beauty College in Monterey through1970 . I left before all the changes like Cannery Row was slowing down before the Aquarium was put there. It was a place for young adults and teens to walk with the sales of drug paraphernalia . I commend the people of Monterey for making Cannery Row into a beautiful family friendly place. I also was a young child walking the Wharf with all the family owned fish markets and tourist shops at the time in the mid 1950's . I remember the fish markets with all the fish out to check out and buy and to sit at an area to have shrimp cocktails given to me for free by knowing the owners.

    I've visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium over 10 years ago for a weekend road trip and briefly walked around the vicinity, so it's a treat to see your coverage! 😍 I enjoyed the seeing Fisherman's Wharf and gorgeous water views from the Coast Guard Pier 23:30. 24:24 Wow, you got to be this close to the sea lions, so cute!! 🦭 I didn't know John Steinbeck made Cannery Row famous, cool! 😎 Thank you for sharing this informative and scenic walk, AK! 🤗

    One of places I miss the most about California. I used to take road trips there twice a year from Los Angeles. Lots of happy memories! That overcast morning sky looks familiar, ha ha. I’m glad to see the restaurants are still giving out free samples of clam chowder. I swear, you can get full on the samples alone. Did you take the ghost trolley tour at night? Highly recommended!
