Back to Old Fisherman's Wharf keeps me coming back! We go ever year for the Pro-Am at Pebble Beach and make sure that we have one whole day just to hang out at the Wharf!!! We whale watch, eat, just chill and enjoy the sites and sounds!!! Would not trade this trip for anything!!! I look forward to it ever year!!!!!!!!!!
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Feb 05 2008 A Must Do while in Monterey The first time we were in Monterey (2004) we missed this. I am glad we found it now in 07. It is a neat row of shops, a beautiful ocean view and a nice place to see the seals. Be sure to take the walk down to the coast guard dock from Fisherman's Wharf to see the beautiful coastal foliage and animals.
Reviewed by: Mer from on Dec 19 2007 Nice place to eat out There are some nice restaurants on the wharf. It's a good atmosphere, family friendly. You can get whale watching tours from here. There are several shops. All in all a nice place to go. I live in Monterey for a year and four months while in training for the Navy. I certainly enjoyed it.

Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Oct 07 2007 People make the place It is an old, rather dumpy, sometimes littered pier which is lined with mostly restaurants, trinket places and other retailers. You can get great value at many of the restaurants but read the menus so you go somewhere for food you specifically want... but what makes walking the pier fun... are all the visitors and people who are there too... great sites... fun to sit and just "people watch"... and on those good clear, sunny days the view is wonderful.
Reviewed by: Anne from on Mar 21 2007 it is what it is Great atmosphere and a lot of fun to walk around. Can be a bit pricy if you don't know where to look for lunch! But overall a good experience and a nice place to go on week days for lunch with family or friends.
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Mar 01 2007 Monterey CA I've always enjoyed Fisherman's Warf. Coming here on a weekend and enjoying the nice weather and just taking a stoll on Fisherman's Warf or take walk along the beach and see the sea lion up close. They have a lot of good places to eat and and lots of shops to shop at.
Reviewed by: C B from on Jan 02 2007 If you are there do it, don't make it a special trip Commercialized tourist trap. Leave your wallet at home and enjoy the sights. The shops are well kept. Sideswalks are passable. Restaraunts and snack shops (Dip n Dots...) are plentiful. However, it is not anything I care to waste my money on.
Reviewed by: Sandy from on Dec 29 2006 a taste of Monterey Bay What a great experience! from the whale watching tours to the restaraunts, to the little shops, a fun place to be.
Reviewed by: Dorid Lovely from on Dec 27 2006 If you want to see a wharf, go to San Francisco It was okay. I thought it would be like San Franciso's but it was not. It was small. There were not a lot of good places to eat. Not a lot of good shops either. You will leave there thining "is this it?"
