The bay is south of the major cities of San Francisco and San Jose, and between the cities of Santa Cruz and Monterey. The Monterey Bay Area, or sometimes just Bay Area, are local colloquialisms sometimes used to describe the whole of the Central Coast communities of Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties. The Monterey Canyon, one of the largest underwater canyons in the world, begins off the coast of Moss Landing, exactly in the center of Monterey Bay. The magnificent Monterey Peninsula has been called the greatest meeting of land, sea and sky and is recognized as an ideal vacation and business destination. Monterey Bay is home to many species of marine mammals, including sea otters, harbor seals and bottlenose dolphins; as well as being on the migratory path of Gray and Humpback Whales and a breeding site for elephant seals. Killer whales are also found along the coast, especially when Gray whales migrate, as they hunt the whales during their migration north. The city had California's first theater, public building, public library, publicly funded school, printing press, and newspaper. The city and surrounding area have attracted artists since the late 19th century and many celebrated painters and writers have lived there.
