Old Fisherman's Wharf

Enjoy it while visiting Monterey in California

Old Fisherman’s Wharf

Once a smelly and salt water-stained area, Old Fisherman’s Wharf near Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium has undergone a transformation. It is now a bustling tourist destination with expensive restaurants and souvenir shops. Despite its changes, this harborside neighborhood remains a popular spot for activities such as whale-watching tours and kayaking excursions on the bay.

When you take a leisurely walk along Old Fisherman’s Wharf, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of the bay. Don’t forget to keep an eye out for seals lounging on the rocks and buoys nearby. And while you’re here, make sure to indulge in some delicious clam chowder. Many of the restaurants serving this tasty dish offer samples to those passing by. You can easily enjoy a small cup-sized portion just by taking a few rounds and sampling along the way. If you want to learn more, visit the Monterey County’s website for additional information.
