"Monterey/ Del Monte Beach/MBK area: where the street to the south tees into the main drag (Del Monte?) at the Mc Donalds. there is a small public lot there, but parking is limited to 4 hrs, quarters only I think. I think it's $8 a day or so to park in the MBK lot, which you access by passing by the store and turning at the next right and doubling back. Another option is to park on the street if you can. I think, can't recall, you can park right on the main drag. If you look across toward the little lake opposite McD's, you'll see about 5 or 6 places without meters under some trees near some gov't offices.

I've also parked free a few blocks south of Mc D's near a law office on a side street. It's a decent ways down the sand beach to the water, wheels are handy. Public toilet in MBK wash=off area. Real protected launch.

You could go clear around the wharfs and turn down to San Carlos St park, which is at the south end of all the hotels that lead north to Cannery Row. There is a wheelchair ramp to the beach and then a short drag to the water. Park in the lot there, it's probably about $8 a day, you buy a ticket at a central machine, I think it might take credit cards and bills. Parking tickets are about $40, so choose carefully."
