What started out as a wharf in 1866 is now a bonafide destination. In addition to a quaint fishing village vibe, the area features several antique shops, art studios, fresh seafood markets and delightful restaurants all within strolling distance of each other. Take a look at a sample Moss Landing itinerary for ideas on how to spend a quiet getaway weekend.
If you own a boat, you're in luck. Moss Landing has over 600 slips for recreational boaters and commercial vessels. Contact the Moss Landing Harbor District for more information.
For the more adventurous, a diverse and one-of-a-kind ecosystem known as Elkhorn Slough Reserve beckons. Home to more than 340 species of birds and the famed California otter, Elkhorn Slough Reserve is an ecological jewel well worth a visit.
It's no surprise that restaurants in an active fishing area would feature fresh-caught seafood. Moss Landing restaurants feature seafood fresh from Monterey Bay, sometimes brought to your plate directly from the boat with only a brief stop in the kitchen. Rub elbows with the fishermen who caught your lunch at the Moss Landing Cafe, or try a mix of traditional and unique Mexican cuisine at The Whole Enchilada.
Enjoy the quiet tranquility of Moss Landing with views of the ocean when you stay at a Moss Landing hotel. The Captain's Inn at Moss Landing is housed in a historic building, and features soaking tubs and furniture made from actual boats, as well as a stick-to-your-ribs breakfast. For even more privacy, rent a townhome from the Monterey Dunes Company. Coming in your RV? The Moss Landing RV Park features full hook-ups at each site.
