    • Although this might be seen as one of the nicer parts of Monterey it is, in my opinion, just a big tourist trap.

    There are souvenir shops and very expensive restaurants. There is a very touristic feel to it all and I wouldn't consider spending too much time there. Of course it is very nice to watch the seals swim around the boats waiting for food, but that is about it.

    At Least Do This: You should definetly go for a walk there but for food I suggest you go towards the "center", i.e. away from the Wharf.
