About San Carlos Beach in Monterey, California

San Carlos Beach is located in Monterey at the west end of Cannery Row next to the Coast Guard Pier. This beach is sometimes referred to as Reeside Beach Access because of its location at the end of Reeside Avenue. San Carlos Beach is known for scuba diving not subathing, but it’s a great place to visit on a sunny day. You can choose from grass lawns, sandy beaches, or benches and picnic tables to rest on. Some old concrete structures exist at the water’s edge. Right behind San Carlos Beach Park is the paved Monterey Peninsula Recreation Trail for bikers, runners, and walkers to enjoy. Check out nearby Monterey Municipal Beach if you want a sandier beach experience.
