5 /5 Olivia Herrera: Old Fisherman’s Warf is for sure the vibe! It’s not crowded. We have children so it was kid family friendly. So much little shops to look around & buy items from. The restaurants are delicious. Everyone I’ve encountered are super friendly & welcoming. Trolleys go by here & take you around for a free ride. So it was cute to do that with the kids. There’s also easy access to the water & swim in. Certain places offer free parking. But over all the best place to spend the day !

5 /5 layth Rababah: Old Fisherman’s Wharf is a great spot for a relaxing walk with scenic ocean views and a lively coastal vibe. It’s also one of the best places in Monterey to book a whale watching trip — highly recommended for a chance to see humpbacks, dolphins, and more. When you’re done, there are plenty of restaurants to grab a fresh seafood meal. Definitely worth a visit!
