The natural beauty and ocean resources of the Monterey Peninsula draw millions of visitors from around the world each year, including more than 65,000 scuba divers drawn by the area’s easy access, variety of wildlife, and massive kelp forests.

The aquarium also houses sea otters, intertidal wildlife, and occasionally sea turtles. In addition to diving and visiting the aquarium, people enjoy the Monterey Bay by kayaking, whale watching, charter fishing, surfing, bird watching, tide pooling and walking on the beach. Lovers Point is also where the Kelp Crawlers, a local open water swimming group, holds its weekly Sunday swim.
