Don’t visit the trail at night. Dangerous Place.
The sardine population col-lapsed in the 1950s as a result of overfishing and changes in ocean conditions; the canneries closed, and the trains quit running through town.
Today, Monterey’s sardine history is still in evidence, although now seen through the perspective of tourism. Remaining canneries have been repurposed and filled with shops, restaurants, galleries and museums. The railroad tracks have been pulled up and replaced with a walking/bicycling path called the Monterey Bay Coastal Recreation Trail.
