Monterey, a gorgeous city located on the central coastline of California, was founded more than two centuries ago. It existed before the formation of the United States, serving as the capital of Alta, California, under Mexico and Spain between 1804 and 1846.

This location was the first to care for and display a great white shark.

Visitors and locals enjoy visiting the Monterey Museum of Art and Fisherman's Wharf. Both of these attractions draw crowds daily. Various arts and crafts festivals take place each year on the wharf. Another annual event is the Monterey Jazz Festival, which brings thousands of jazz musicians and fans to the city.
