Beach Walking

Take a walk along Del Monte Beach (yes, as long as you’re walking it counts as recreation and is permitted under the county’s shelter-in-place order) and you can view all kinds of marine life, birds and shells. Midway between the 2-mile walk from Wharf 2 to Monterey Tides Hotel, this graffiiti art on the drainage pipe wall provides a different type of entertainment. At high tide, when the sandy beach becomes impassable, walk up and over to continue. If you’re headed north, you can be as ambitious in your beach walk as you are motivated – Moss Landing Harbor is about 15 miles away.
