This quaint and charming coastal city was founded in 1875 as a summer Methodist retreat. It quickly became a prized tourist destination with its easy access to Monterey Bay via Lovers Point and
Asilomar State beaches and proximity to
Pebble Beach. Today, Pacific Grove continues to thrive featuring a wealth of Victorian era homes, distinct shopping districts, boutique hotels and motels, a links-style ocean front golf course and gourmet dining. Pacific Grove is also home, to the Point Pinos Lighthouse, the longest continuously operating beacon on the West Coast and the Monarch Butterfly habitat. Park your car for the day and stroll throughout this quaint and colorful town. Just as romantic, as it is family-friendly, Pacific Grove is one of the jewels of the Monterey Peninsula. Surfing is ideal at
Asilomar State Beach. Kayaking and scuba diving allows you to visit with playful otters. Tide pooling for the nature enthusiast is available at several beaches. A walk or bike ride along the shoreline recreation trail offers breathtaking views of paradise.
