About Cannery Row
Cannery Row is the Monterey waterfront street of old canneries that John Steinbeck, born in nearby Salinas, made famous in his 1945 novel of the same name. Today it holds waterfront hotels, restaurants, boutiques and wine tasting rooms, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium, also in this guide, is on the same street. Walk it in the morning, before the aquarium, when the bay is calm.
