Monarch Resort > Attractions > Monterey Cannery Row

Between the oceanfront Coastal Recreation Trail, wine tasting rooms and world-renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row bustles with enough activity to keep families, couples and friends on the go for days. Of course, there's also boutique and outlet shopping, live music and dynamic nightlife, beaches and dive shops, and year-round events for all ages. Here, guests can just as easily indulge their adventurous spirit as they can relax and reconnect. So go ahead - build a sand castle, schedule a spa treatment, watch sea otters or try that glass of award-winning pinot noir. It's a perfect day to make memories on Cannery Row for every budget.

Visitors packing for a Cannery Row vacation might want to leave some empty space in their suitcase. With more than 85 merchants there is always a bargain to be found, including independent, family-owned shops and top-selling national name brands, the original treasures on sale here are as exciting as the district's ocean views. Toy stores and chocolate shops make spoiling kids simple, while boutiques feature unique art and antiques, gourmet foods, local wines, stunning jewelry and casual fashion for women and men.

Few destinations offer dining experiences as enticing and authentic as those on Cannery Row. From tasty & inexpensive to fine gourmet, menus here feature fresh-caught Monterey Bay seafood, organic produce from local farm fields and healthy, innovative cuisine shaped by the character of this historic coastal community. Casual, kid-friendly eateries such as Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, which opened its first location right here on Cannery Row, sit steps from classic fine dining options like the Sardine Factory, operated by its founding families for two generations. Enjoy dinner with a view at Schooners Bistro on the Bay or The Duck Club Grill, both located at the Mobil Four-Star Awarded Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa, or enjoy your meal with award-winning live entertainment at Sly McFly's. With more than 25 celebrated restaurants, cafes and wine tasting rooms, Cannery Row exemplifies truly good taste.
