CATELLUS EAST
The City purchased
the east Catellus parcel for $3,960,000 in 2002. While planning
the ultimate use of this property has not been completed, some
some public access is possible
These photos of east parcel (see the photo numbers on the map to the left) illustrate the current public points of access.
This parcel includes a very nice stretch of sheltered beach. A great place to launch a kayak or for playing in the water or sunbathing. But public use in sometimes restricted by the commercial tenants.
1. This
is a view of the Monterey City beach. The green building is the
"Scout House." The building is leased to Adventures by
the Sea, a private commercial operator who uses the building and
the adjacent public beach for private events.
2.
This view is looking due east along the beach. The pile of sand
in the foreground and extending toward the Scout House has been
pushed up to prevent winter storm surge from flooding Del Monte
Avenue. You won't find this dune in the summer

3. This view is looking east along the the Recreation Trail. Notice the Adventures By The Sea sign to the left of the trail. This is a public space and going left will get you to the beach.
Turning
around and looking toward the west Catellus parcel, you will find
a large parking lot.
