Cannery Row, located in New Monterey and on the border of Pacific Grove, was the site of retired sardine factories and John Steinbeck’s novel Cannery Row. Today, the award-winning Monterey Bay Aquarium is the main attraction, with its impressive exhibitions of marine life, ocean conservation efforts, and educational programs. Unfortunately, Monterey Bay Aquarium is temporarily closed due to Covid. Still, a trip down Cannery Row itself is a day well spent with many restaurants, shops, hotels, bike rentals, historical attractions, and the scenic beauty of Monterey Bay.
