A waterfront street in Monterey, the street was so named due to the number of now defunct sardine canning factories located on the street. Today the street is a popular destination filled with shops and restaurants. The Monterey Aquarium is located on one end of the street.

Cannery Row was the setting for John Steinbeck's novels, Cannery Row and Sweet Thursday.

Cannery Row has a lot of history as being the beloved city of John Steinbeck. Because of this, they have a Steinbeck Museum located there. They also have wine tasting that you can do if you pay a small fee. It's kind of a nice experience to walk around, get photos of the bay and drink a little wine. If you're really interested in sea life, you can also stop by the Monterey Bay aquarium, although it is a bit over priced in my opinion.

Lots of great shopping for tourist crap, and a lot of good restaurants. It's a great time, bring the kids to the aquarium and after they fall asleep go to sky mcflys to see a local band's show. There are so many good restaurants.

Made famous by author John Steinbeck, Cannery Row is an area of factories that has been restored and turned into Restaurants and Shops, as well as the must see Monterey Aquarium.

Absolutely one of the most fabulous, historical places to visit. Restaurants are out of this world and John Steinbeck's ghost still must wander the streets.
