As you wind through the charming paths, you’ll see horse drawn carriages, the sparkling waterfront, kids of all ages riding the carousel, unique shops, and free entertainment. If you like swing, rock, jazz or the blues, you’ll find live music for all tastes year round. Three distinctive plazas capture the old world charm of places such as Old Monterey, traditional Mexico and Victorian San Francisco.
