tutuwahineLV Posted January 4, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Hi All, Anyone know how far the walk is from the Tender drop-off pier to Cannery Row?? Looks like there is a really nice shore-front walkway and park, but I'm curious as to the distance, and how long it takes to do that stroll. Appreciate your knowledge and assistance.

wheezedr Posted January 5, 2019 #2 Share Posted January 5, 2019 From the Wharf to the Row is roughly a mile. Depends where on the Row you want to go. A little further to the Aquarium. Figure about 20 minutes a mile for normal pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATSEAMYLIFE Posted January 9, 2019 #4 Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) Depending on the time of the year the City of Monterey runs a free shuttle around town. We visit Monterey often and have used it a couple of times. Check the www site for operational times and route. The walk along the waterfront from Old Fishermans Wharf to Aquarium is a little over a mile. But it's less than 3/4 mile to the closest part of Cannery Row. If you Google earth from Old Fisherman's Wharf (where the ship will tender) to the El Torito that will give you a good idea. There are a few nice stops along the way and the walk is awesome if the weather is nice. The shuttle picks up right at the end of the Wharf. But there will probably be a crowd. If you walk over a little further to in front of the Portola Hotel and Spa there is another stop that will be less crowded. Best suggestion would be to walk over and shuttle back.

We will be there towards the end of March. Keeping my fingers crossed for good weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATSEAMYLIFE Posted January 10, 2019 #6 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Weather is always a crap shoot. But the best weather we ever had in Monterey was late January, so the % is probably with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioLair Posted February 17, 2019 #7 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) Back in the early 80s the city tore up the RR tracks along the bay from the old Fishermans Wharf in Monterey to Lovers Point Park in Pacific Grove and put in the pedestrian/cycle path. A nice walk. . . . not done it in a while but know it is about a 45 minute stroll (2 miles or so) . Well worth the effort, or rent a bicycle and make it a bit faster. Just to the Aquarium is about 25 minutes or so. Check maps.google.com and map it out. . . . . Be sure to walk up to Downtown Pacific Grove if you go all the way, very charming city.

CRUISEWITHH Posted June 20, 2019 #8 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Does anyone know if the free shuttle is handicapped accessible? We would like to take it from the pier to the Old Fishermans wharf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATSEAMYLIFE Posted June 20, 2019 #9 Share Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) You will tender to the "tourist pier" not sure why you would want to go to the "working" pier unless it's to eat at one of the restaurants. If you Google Earth it you will see Wharf 1 and Wharf 2. #1 has all the shops and tourist stuff and the tender docks at the end of it. #2 is the commercial pier where all the fishing boats unload and people with boats tie up. There's a few places to eat there but not much else. I doubt the free shuttle would do you much good either way as it really can't get you much closer than the land end. There is a nice wide flat sidewalk that runs along the water between the two piers. It's probably 300 yards from the land end between the two.

John99 Posted June 21, 2019 #10 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Per the City of Monterey - the free shuttle program operates on a daily basis Memorial Day through Labor Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
