This image has proceeded down the wharf towards the small white entrance on the right, previously seen in the middle distance. On both sides of the walkway are open air fresh fish markets, as well as a local candy store.
The description states:
FISHERMAN’S WHARF
Monterey, California
is a tourist center with numerous good restaurants, gift shops and headquarters for charter fishing boats.
–The list on the building shows the range of fish available to the visitor for purchase, though likely not all at the same time.
This postcard was used and is dated 18 June 1979.
