About Monterey
Area Information
Monterey is a city on the coast of Central California. Located on the southern edge of Monterey Bay and next to the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, the area is known for its diverse marine life, as well as its significance in California history as a fishing-industry hub. A temperate climate and variety of parks and beaches make Monterey a good place for those with an active lifestyle. Monterey is a small community, roughly 9 square miles, with a population of just over 27,000. However, during tourist season, the population increases to nearly 70,000.
Monterey is a popular tourist destination, but locals can travel 4 miles to nearby Carmel or Pebble Beach for a quick getaway, or head to Santa Cruz, which is about 45 miles away.
