Fisherman's Wharf, Monterey, California, Historic waterfront district in Monterey, United States.
The wooden pier stretches along Monterey Bay, featuring restaurants, gift shops, and fresh seafood markets in a maritime setting.
The wharf, constructed in 1870, served as a commercial fishing hub and became the first active fishing pier on the Monterey Peninsula.
Local fishermen continue their daily operations at the pier, maintaining the traditional fishing practices that shaped the California coast.
Free two-hour parking is available at the wharf entrance, with direct access to whale watching tours and harbor cruises.
Sea otters and harbor seals frequently surface near the pier's wooden pillars, creating opportunities for wildlife observation throughout the day.
