There’s a lot to see and get to know
about Monterey Harbor. There is
the municipal marina and a private
marina, Breakwater Cove, in Monterey.
Breakwater Cove Marina is located between Fisherman’s Wharf
and Cannery Row, next to the
Coast Guard Pier and San Carlos
Beach Park. They o昀昀er full services, berthing, supplies, fuel &
full-service repair facilities. There
are restaurants, shops, restrooms,
showers and a dive company nearby. Breakwater Cove Marina is
privately owned and operated.
Guard has an 87 foot Marine Protector class patrol cutter; two 47
foot motor life boats designed for
fast response in high seas, surf and
heavy weather environments; and a
high speed 29 foot rescue boat.
The 1700-foot breakwater guarding
the north side of the Harbor was
built during the early 1930s by the
Army Corps of Engineers. A wharf
was later constructed over the
breakwater.
The U.S. Coast Guard small boats
are located in small boat slips on
the shore side of the wharf on the
east side of the breakwater. The
Monterey Fire Boat also is stationed here. The boat helps protect
the harbor’s 90,000 sq ft and nearly
600 boats.
