Marina

Marina is located along the central coast of California, 8 miles west of Salinas, and 8 miles north of the Monterey Peninsula. Marina is the newest city in Monterey and was named one of the 100 best communities for young people. The city includes part of the California State University, Monterey Bay campus, the UCMBEST branch research center of UC Santa Cruz, and the Veterans Transition Center (VTC). The Fort Ord Station Veterinary Hospital, built-in 1941 to provide healthcare for U.S. Army horses and mules, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. This is the first such official recognition of old Fort Ord.
