Steinbeck's Spirit of Monterey Wax Museum

Monterey Whale Watching
 |
Location : Monterey CA
Phone: Description : The Monterey Bay is shaped like a backwards ‘C’, with its southern most tip at Point Pinos and its northern most tip at Point Santa Cruz. The Monterey Bay is bisected by the Monterey Submarine Canyon, known as the 3rd largest submarine canyon in the world. The head of the canyon starts just a mile from shore at Moss Landing, and is approximately 292 miles long, 7.5 miles wide, and is more than 2 miles deep at its deepest point. Because the submarine canyon is in such close proximity to shore, the Monterey Bay has deep, cold, nutrient-rich water all year. |
Adventures by the Sea

Location : Monterey CA

Wanting to share his experiences with others, Frank began a small rental business delivering bicycles to the local hotels for the enjoyment of people visiting the area.
