Custom House Plaza

Monterey & Carmel
Custom House Plaza
  • Custom House Plaza is a must for history buffs. They especially won’t want to miss the Old Whaling Station and Robert Louis Stevenson House.

  • Docent-led walking tours of Old Monterey, including the plaza, are free on the last Sunday of each month.

  • The inside of many historical adobes can be viewed only with a State Park Guide.

  • Monterey State Historic Park offers a Qualified Sign Language Interpreter (QSLI) with advance notice.

  • Bring walking shoes and layered clothing, as California coastal temperatures can vary.

  • Pathways are level and accessible to wheelchair users, and an ADA-accessible restroom is located behind Joseph Boston Store.
