The good life of Monterey Bay’s coast-side towns

by Alex Bruni on 11 09 11

In the good life of Monterey Bay’s coast-side towns, in the pleasures of its luxurious resorts, and in the vitality of its resplendent marine habitat, this piece of California shows off its natural appeal. The abundance is nothing new: an abiding current of plenty runs through the many histories of the region.

Military buffs see it in centuries’ worth of battles for control of the rich territory. John Steinbeck saw it in the success of a community built on the elbow grease of farm laborers in the Salinas Valley and fishermen along Cannery Row. Biologists see it in the ocean’s potential as a more sustainable source of food.
