Frequently asked questions

What other neighbourhoods are similar to Downtown Monterey?
The best areas similar to Downtown Monterey are Cannery Row and the adjacent New Monterey neighbourhood.

Cannery Row, just northwest of Downtown Monterey, is a historic waterfront district famous for its sardine canning factories, now repurposed into shops, restaurants, and hotels. The main street, also called Cannery Row, runs parallel to the bay and is home to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It's a very walkable area with direct access to the scenic Recreation Trail, great for strolls or cycling along the coast.

Couples often enjoy Cannery Row for its romantic setting, with many hotels offering bay views and easy access to waterfront dining. The proximity to the aquarium and the coastal trail provides plenty of activities for a relaxed getaway.

New Monterey, situated slightly uphill and inland from Cannery Row, offers a quieter, more residential feel while still being very close to the attractions. It's known for its charming streets, local eateries, and a less touristy atmosphere. This area provides a good balance between convenience and a more local experience.
