Monterey bay aquarium is a nice place and a must to visit if a visitor to the peninsula. It is nice, friendly, great exhibits BUT OVERLY expensive (I think around $15-$20 per person) and VERY busy on weekends to the point that I'd stay clear of cannery row on any weekend day.
It is a fun place to bring young kids though on weekdays for a day out. My toddler loved the fishes, sharks and there is also a small play area for toddlers to explore themselves.
a fun place once in awhile or on a rainy day but to me it didn't live up to all the hype that people gave it before I lived there.

More
The Monterey Bay Aquarium Gift Shop has lots of goodies for all kinds of people. They have expensive goodies, like jewelry and artwork, and smaller items, such as socks, stuffed animals, children's' books, etc., for the tighter budget. The spacing is a bit small, so it feels a little crowded, and the prices are a bit....pricey. But, it's a neat look around when you're done cruising the aquarium.

Sunshine freestyle sports is an alternative sports shop located in monterey. They sell surf boards, skate boards and snow boards. They also carry a wide selection of clothes for men and women. It is one of the bigger surf shops that I have been to. I recently bought a new snow board from sunshine sports. During the summer they have sales on all the winter gear and in the winter they have sales on all the summer sports. They have resonable prices compare to other shops in the monterey area. Check out sunshine sports.

Monster video is a good video store located in monterey. Dont be mislead by the name monster video is not a big store. It is a little video store that has a good selection of new releases and classic videos. They offer 5 day rentals and overnight rentals. Monster video is a good local spot that gets new videos every tuesday. Their prices are cheaper than the local blockbuster in monterey so I always choose to go to monster video. They also still carry a wide selection of VHS tapes. So if you want to watch a movie tonight check out monster video.

Great location on Cannery Row. Amazing ocean view. The dining room is very nicely decorated. The food was delicious, however, we had the worse service ever.

Old Fisherman's Grotto - On Fisherman's Wharf!

More
This restaurant is a sister restaurant to The Fish Hopper (read my review of The Fish Hopper here: http://www.judysbook.com/members/13223/posts/2006/10/476403/ ) and is locally owned and operated. They also feature award winning clam chowder here, which is what we ordered for a yummy lunch a la bread bowl (try their free sample while you walk down Fisherman’s Wharf). They are also open for dinner. Of course the fresh seafood is their specialty, but they also have pasta and steak if you’re a bit tired of the sea fare. Seats by the window have views of harbor seals, sea otters, and sea birds during the day. Score some coupons for a free appetizer by visiting the Convention & Visitors Bureau (adjacent to the Wharf area) before your meal.

More
This wharf is filled with souvenir shops, seafood restaurants, and boat whale watching tour ports. It is very touristy, but fun to walk along. If you walk to the far end and look out past the marina over toward the other wharf you can see the harbor seals lounging on the beams under the wharf. There are some good observation lookouts here that you have access to. Enjoy the stroll and try all of the free clam chowder samples that the restaurants will start hawking at lunch and dinner time. In the evening the hanging lights add a romantic atmosphere to the wharf.

The Monterey Copy Center is a block away from both Kinko's and a UPS store. Amazingly enough, they are a lot cheaper than both kinko's and UPS. The service is great. They are very flexible and will adjust to whatever need you may have. They are very fast. If you have anything urgent, they'll do their best to get it done super fast. The quality of their copies is great. I highly recommend going there for all your copying and paper needs.
