Besides the obligatory t-shirt shops, it boasts several very nice hotels and numerous restaurants that I would love to sample. Today, however, we confined ourselves to just wandering about and seeing the sights.

Cannery Row
We thought it only fitting that our first major excursion in the car was to Cannery Row. This stretch of waterfront along Ocean View Avenue was once the center of a thriving sardine canning industry. In his 1945 novel set in depression-era Monterey, John Steinbeck called this street Cannery Row. Now that tourism has replaced fish processing as the economic mainstay, that has been made its official name.
