Tip by

Cannery Row is the coastal street and tourist district of Monterey, California. It gets its name from the many sardine factories that were built and operated here between 1895 and around 1950. The street was previously called Ocean View Avenue, but today the nickname is official. After the collapse of the sardine fishery, the street became the tourist center of Monterey.

Lone Cypress Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the roadside balustrade is actually a better angle than from the viewing platform to photograph the tree without branches from other trees spoiling the coveted 'lone' Cypress impression 😜
Update: The iconic old Cypress tree that had already been stabilized with steel ropes and anchors was badly damaged in a storm 2018 and lost its left branches.

Ghost Trees at Pescadero Point

Highlight • Viewpoint

Pescadero Point is a fantastic spot to view the ghost trees and offers spectacular ocean views, along with fascinating rock formations. This area is known for its legendary big waves, which can reach heights of up to 50 feet (15 meters) in the winter, but it's a stunning sight to see any time of year. There is a manned gate at the entrance of the Pebble Beach Golf Course to access this location for vehicles, however, if you're on a bike you can pass for free.
