Monterey Bay and the Campus Monterey Bay is on the central coast of California, just two hours south of San Francisco. The bay itself is one of the largest marine protected preserves in the world and home to whales, deep sea anglerfish, and the sea otter, CSUMB’s mascot. The CSUMB campus is close to pristine beaches, oak forests, tidepools, and the Fort Ord National Monument. Monterey has ideal weather: Over the year, the temperature typically varies from 44°F to 68°F and is rarely below 37°F or above 77°F. The campus sits halfway between the Monterey Peninsula, which features the coastal communities of Carmel, Pacific Grove, Monterey, Marina, and Seaside, and the Salinas Valley, known as the “Salad Bowl of the World” for its abundant agricultural production. The city of Salinas is the county seat and served as the setting for many of John Steinbeck's novels. The campus straddles the cities of Seaside and Marina, which are small, diverse communities where many students live and work. The history of the former military base is evident across the CSUMB campus. In addition to CSUMB’s main campus, the University maintains a presence in Salinas and Monterey, providing instruction and community outreach through facilities in North Salinas, downtown Salinas, and the Ryan Ranch development in Monterey.
