Monterey Fisherman's Wharf - Monterey Bay California
CaliWeGo.com Monterey's Fisherman's Wharf is lined with seafood restaurants, gift shops, jewelry stores, art galleries, and candy shops. Whale watching tours are available in the area. And don't forget to check out the sea lions that seem to sleep all over the bay. Monterey Bay California Fisherman's Wharf. Monterey's Fisherman's Wharf is lined with seafood restaurants ranging from casual, open-air clam bars, to formal indoor dining with views of Monterey Bay. Along with Cannery Row, Fisherman's Wharf is one of the few areas in Monterey that sells souvenirs, so the restaurants are interspersed with gift shops, jewelry stores, art galleries, and candy shops. Whale watching tours and fishing trips leave from the wharf, and sea lions often sleep on the pilings, buoys, and moored boats in the bay.
At the entrance to the wharf is Custom House Plaza, the historical center of Monterey. Here you will find the Custom House, the first government building in California and the location where the United States took Monterey from Mexico in 1846. The Monterey Maritime Museum is also located in Custom House Plaza, detailing both the maritime and cultural history of Monterey and the surrounding area. Many other historic buildings are located in this plaza. It is also the location of the last whalebone sidewalk in the United States.
Accessible almost exclusively to pedestrians, Fisherman's Wharf is located at the end of the Alvarado Mall, just west of the municipal wharf on Lighthouse Avenue. It is also on the Coastal Recreation Trail, providing pedestrian access to Cannery Row and Pacific Grove From Memorial Day to Labor Day the city of Monterey provides a free trolley service to Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium. A favorite activity on the wharf, for both tourists and locals, is sailing on the Monterey Bay along Cannery Row.

Flows to Bay Opening at the Museum of Monterey
Formerly the Monterey Maritime Museum, the Museum of Monterey (MoM) has been reinvented by the Monterey History & Art Association (MHAA) for a new era.
California's progressive, inclusive and creative spirit is a lighthouse to the world and it all started in Monterey. In 1846, without firing a shot, Commodore John Drake Sloat captured Monterey and claimed California as American domain. In 1849, the California state constitution was written, debated and signed in Monterey. Within the next year, California became the first state in the West. In 1931, a group of Monterey visionaries created the MHAA to honor this unique contribution to the west's history.
MoM will continue MHHA's mission to identify and preserve those objects that tell the story of Monterey's historic role in the birth and development of the wildly innovative state of California. And further to provide an environment and support for those individuals and organizations whose new stories demonstrate and celebrate that bold creative spirit.
Building on the past, MoM will help make living history -- locally, regionally and globally.
MoM is open Tuesday -- Sunday 10 a.m. -- 5 p.m. The Museum is closed Monday. The cost to visit is $5. Lobby exhibits are free. For more information please call (831) 372-2608 or go to montereyhistory.org.

Monterey, California
The City of Monterey in Monterey County is located on the southern edge of Monterey Bay, on Central California's Pacific coast. It stands at an elevation of 26 feet (8 m) above sea level,[2] on a land area of 8.466 sq mi (21.927 km²). The 2010 census recorded a population of 27,810.
Monterey was the capital of Alta California under both Spain and Mexico. It was the only port of entry for taxable goods in California. In 1846 the U.S. flag was raised over the Customs House, and California became part of the United States after the ensuing Mexican-American War.
The city had California's first theatre, public building, public library, publicly funded school, printing press, and newspaper. The city and surrounding area have attracted artists since the late 19th century and many celebrated painters and writers have lived there. Until the 1950s, there was an abundant fishery.
Among Monterey's notable present-day attractions are the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row, Fisherman's Wharf and the annual Monterey Jazz Festival.

Amazing Monterey Bay Aquarium in California
The Monterey Bay Aquarium (MBA) is a public aquarium located in Monterey, California, United States. The aquarium was founded in 1984 and is located on the site of a former sardine cannery on Cannery Row. It has an annual attendance of more than two million visitors. It holds thousands of plants and animals, representing more than 600 species on display. The aquarium benefits from a high circulation of fresh ocean water which is obtained through pipes which pump it in continuously from Monterey Bay.
The centerpiece of the Ocean's Edge Wing, is a 28-foot-high (8.5 m), 333,000-US-gallon (1,260,000 l; 277,000 imp gal) tank for viewing California coastal marine life. In this tank, the aquarium was the first in the world to grow live California Giant Kelp. Visitors are able to inspect the creatures of the kelp forest at several levels in the building. The largest tank in the aquarium is a 1,200,000-U.S.-gallon (4,500,000 l; 1,000,000 imp gal) tank in the Open Sea galleries (formerly the Outer Bay), which features one of the world's largest single-paned windows. It is one of the few aquariums to hold the ocean sunfish in captivity.
Sealife on exhibit includes stingrays, jellyfish, sea otters, and numerous other native marine species, which can be viewed above and below the waterline. The Monterey Bay Aquarium is one of very few in the world to exhibit both bluefin and yellowfin tuna. For displaying jellyfish, it uses a Kreisel tank, which creates a circular flow to support and suspend the jellies. The aquarium does not house mammals other than otters.
Das Monterey Bay Aquarium (MBA) im kalifornischen Monterey ist eines der größten öffentlichen Schauaquarien weltweit. Gebaut wurde die 1984 eröffnete Ausstellung mit einer 55-Millionen-Dollar-Spende von David Packard auf dem Gelände einer ehemaligen Fischfabrik an der Cannery Row. Ein Erweiterungsbau für 57 Millionen Dollar wurde 1996 fertiggestellt. Bekannt ist es für das Acrylfenster, das den Blick in das größte Aquarium erlaubt. Es war lange Zeit mit einer Länge von 17 und einer Höhe von 5 Meter das größte Fenster weltweit.Zu sehen gibt es im Monterey Bay Aquarium über 35.000 Tiere und 550 verschiedenen Arten an Meerestieren: von winzigen Nacktschnecken über Seesterne, Quallen bis hin zu großen Haien und Pinguinen. Das Aquarium verfügt über etwa 200 Becken, das größte davon the Outer Bay fasst etwa 4 Millionen Liter Wasser. Ebenfalls zum Bereich Outer Bay gehört eine umfangreiche Sammlung von Quallen. Weitere Schwerpunkte sind ein großes Tangwald-Becken, Seeotter, eine umfangreiche Ausstellung von weiteren Ottern sowie eine Gezeitenzone in der auch die Pinguine gezeigt werden.

Exhibits at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
The stunning one-million-gallon Outer Bay exhibit is home to the largest community of open-ocean animals to be found in any aquarium. Giant bluefin tuna power their way through the water. Hammerhead sharks circle inches away. Sea turtles cruise lazily by.
The Outer Bay also features the largest permanent collection of jellyfish species in the United States. Egg-yolk jellies and sea nettles drift gently in ten-foot-long exhibits beautifully lit to accentuate the jellies' delicate beauty. Comb jellies pulse with rainbow bands of light as they swim.
In the past, a wonderful exhibit of Jelly Fish and most recently The Secret Life of Seahorses; always something exciting to see at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
