Overview

Cannery Row is Monterey’s waterfront street of former sardine canneries, made famous by John Steinbeck’s 1945 novel Cannery Row and now a major tourist strip. The last cannery closed in 1973, and today the historic buildings hold restaurants, shops, wine tasting rooms and hotels, and it is home to the world-class Monterey Bay Aquarium. Sea otters and sea lions are often seen offshore.
