The City of Monterey is located on Monterey Bay along the Pacific coast in central California. As of 2005, the city population was 30,641. The city is noted for its rich history of resident artists beginning in the late 1800s and its historically famed fishery. The city is famed for its abundant sea habitat, including kelp seaweed forests, sea otters and sea lions. The large diversity of sealife draws thousands of scuba divers each year to Monterey, which is considered one of the best regions for the sport in California. San Carlos Beach at the Breakwater is the Number 2 training attraction on the West Coast in number of certifications annually. A tradition at this beach since the 1960's, diving here has had a long history and influence in the community and the industry flourishes along with the hotels, restaurants and gift shops.
