Asilomar State Beach
Located on the Monterey Peninsula in the city of Pacific Grove, Asilomar (meaning "a refuge by the sea") State Beach and Conference Grounds offers overnight lodging and views of the forest, surf and sand.
Asilomar State Beach is a narrow one-mile strip of sandy beach and rocky coves. A 3/4-mile coast-walking trail is open to pedestrians. Bicycle riding is allowed on the paved road bike lane in close proximity to the trail. There are no restrooms or picnicking facilities at the state beach. Parking is available on Sunset Drive, the city street that runs parallel to the state beach. The coastal resources are protected. Asilomar State Beach is part of the Pacific Grove Fish Garden Refuge and the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.
