Relax at Lover's Point Beach

Getting there: Drive to the bottom of Ocean View Boulevard in Pacific Grove, California. You will reach a small parking lot. Unfortunately, the parking here is limited. On the bright side, this means the crowds never get too big! The ocean has open swells for surfers, diverse marine-life for snorkelers, and can be mellow enough for even beginner stand-up paddle-boarders. The waves here can be somewhat inconsistent, so for your safety, be sure to check out the report before you head out!   

If you're coming to the area for a while and need somewhere to stay, be sure to check out Asilomar Conference Grounds.
