    Staff were organized, friendly, and fast! We went straight out across the street and were kayaking…read morewithin 10min of checking in! Advice for a simple trip, bring flip flops/water shoes, a change of clothes (at least pants), and a towel. They have a restroom but more importantly they have dressing rooms and complimentary HEATED towels! Only problem is there really isn't a "secure" place to store your stuff, but it is pretty safe behind their counter! Great adventure!!

    We rented a two row bike to get some excercise and ride around Cannery row. It was a nice cruise…read morestarting from Lover's point beach. The girls working here were friendly and helpful. We took a few breaks to just take in the views. Of all the times I visited Monterey, I'm glad we did this with our kids this go around. There's a basket in the front with a seatbelt for the younger kids. It was an enjoyable activity for our whole family and the weather was beautiful. We got to see the seals the Monterey bay Aquarium are trying so hard to keep safe. We rotated so all of us got to ride in the back and enjoyed the cruise. I recommend this activity if you have other adults, older kids (teens and up) or if your little ones can fit in the basket. Not the in between ages, there aren't any seatbelts or safety restraints. If you are in the area keep this activity in mind. It's cost friendly and the views are beautiful.

When I checked into my hotel, the reception person mentioned the sea lions were still on the beach so I walked here shortly after putting my luggage in my room. Being my 1st time in Monterey, I wanted to make the most of my time while here. About three blocks from my hotel, it was an easy stroll on Cannery Row that took about ten minutes. With the sun fully shining, most of the sea lions found refuge on the shady rocks with many already sleeping while other sought a cozy comfy spot (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=120&select=297vYH9CqB5Uk6Zu8NT59w). The smell is distinct aside from the obvious saltwater aroma. There were not many on the actual beach, sea lions or people, mainly observers like me standing along the railings above the rocks (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=96&select=1qFPLvh2p35M1YrzeafGMg). Though I've seen them many years ago at Pier 39 in the city where I'm from, but I've yet to be this up close and personal with sea lions. With the aquarium about fifteen minutes away, it's easy to see why Monterey is a landmark for people who appreciate sea life.
