Peaceful and beautiful. We walked it from where we parked our car to the aquarium due to the parking being free farther up. We checked out an adorable group of harbor seals and could have sat and watched them all day!

We stayed in Pacific Grove and walked this trail to the aquarium and just because every day. We saw sea otters, harbor seals, sea lions, and a large pod of Russo Dolphins from this trail. It was beautiful and peaceful, albeit a bit chilly. Wear layers and don't forget your windbreaker.

We were traveling throughout California for 14 days. We stayed on Cannery Row, and loved being able to see so much by simply walking along the trail. It was refreshing to see so many bikers, walkers, and young parents with strollers, enjoying this wide path that extends along the Pacific. We took MANY photos, while enjoying getting some fresh air...

Day or night the trail meanders along the shore and thought out the local business's. We stopped at a little deli close to the Plaza Hotel and had a great lunch then found a little Spa next door called Monterey Day Spa. Walked in, and had a awesome massage and facial. Un-expected pleasures when your wandering around.

Free! Considering the price of some area attractions, this is a delightful way to exercise and see the sights. Well maintained and marked trail. I was able to access right from my hotel property at the La Quinta Inn.

The trail had nice plantings, and was clearly marked. The views of the ocean and wildlife(seals, birds, etc) were wonderful.
