Maritime Museum of Monterey

Monterey's maritime past comes alive at the Maritime Museum situated across the Custom House Plaza from Fisherman's Wharf. This museum showcases Monterey's seafaring heritage explaining the role this protected harbor played in early California history and as a home to the US Navy. A treasure hunt for the youngsters is held daily, and the gift shop features dozens of souvenirs for every sailor at heart! For more info, call the DeAnza Inn at (800) 858-8775.
