portia says: This happened to me once, so I feel really stupid being swindled not only out of the $5 parking but the $35 fine I had to pay later for not having paid my parking at the meter.

melchiah_kirk says: I also went to Cannary Row, it was pretty good. Of course the Pacific is not the Carribean or the Red Sea, visibility can be pretty poor, but there are fantastic kelp forests, and a variety of sea life.
