The West End

A short distance from the sandy dunes of Monterey Bay, an artists’ community is transforming an industrial neighborhood. Nearly 20 artists have set up studios in Sand City’s West End. The artists, along with a number of restaurants and coffee houses, are creating a cool vibe by the sea.

Check out the Annual West End Celebration at the end of every August, when the community opens its doors with artists’ exhibits and a street fair featuring food, wine tasting, demonstrations of art techniques, and live music and performances. More than fifty artists, from both Sand City and other Monterey County areas, open their galleries or display their work in booths at this event, taking over several blocks of Sand City.
