Central Marina puts you in the heart of Marina, with sea breezes, everyday convenience, and quick connections to job centers in Monterey, Seaside, and Salinas. Residents enjoy an easy commute via Highway 1 and the Monterey-Salinas Transit network, with routes and schedules through the official site for Monterey-Salinas Transit. Daily needs and weekend fun come together at The Dunes on Monterey Bay, where big-box retailers, dining, and a cinema complement locally owned spots around Reservation Road.
Outdoors time is second nature here. Sand lovers head to Marina State Beach for soaring dunes, kite flying, and sunset walks, while cyclists and runners trace the blufftop paths of Fort Ord Dunes State Park. For wider trail networks and sweeping valley-to-bay views, the Fort Ord National Monument delivers year-round adventure across Monterey County.
Families value the educational pipeline, from neighborhood elementary options to Marina High School and continuing on to CSU Monterey Bay, whose campus, programs, and cultural events enrich the local scene. On Sundays, the Marina Certified Farmers’ Market brings fresh produce, flowers, and prepared foods to the community, adding to the area’s easygoing, coastal lifestyle.
