La badia de Monterrey està situada a Califòrnia, entre les ciutats de San Francisco, San José, Santa Cruz i Monterey, població a la qual dóna nom.
La badia va ser descoberta per l'explorador espanyol Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo en 1542, qui li donà el nom de "Badia dels pins" per l'abundància de coníferes que es veien des del vaixell que comandava. Sebastián Rodríguez Cermeño la va rebatejar com a "Badia de Sant Pere" en 1595 i no fou fins a 1602 que adoptà la seva denominació actual. Ho va oficialitzar Sebastián Vizcaíno, encarregat de la corona castellana d'explorar la costa californiana. El nom ve de la pàtria natal del pare de l'aleshores virrei espanyol , Gaspar de Zúñiga y Acevedo, a qui Vizcaíno volia honorar.
