Learn About Billboards in Monterey

Monterey, a city of about 30,000 people on Monterey Bay, is one of California's best-known coastal destinations. The Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row and Fisherman's Wharf draw millions of visitors a year, and events like the Monterey Jazz Festival and Monterey Car Week, with nearby Pebble Beach and Laguna Seca, fill hotels and restaurants.

Nicknamed the Language Capital of the World, Monterey is home to the Defense Language Institute, the Naval Postgraduate School and the Middlebury Institute of International Studies. CA-1 and CA-68 carry traffic to the peninsula from Salinas, Carmel and Big Sur, so billboards reach tourists, military students and affluent residents.
