Pacific Grove Beach Highlights

By Travel Expert: Ludmilla Alexander

Roam the sandy shores with your dog—on a leash of course.
Marvel at thousands of migrating monarch butterflies that nest in the ancestral groves each spring.
Walk or bike the trails at Asilomar Beach, a narrow one-mile strip of sand and rocky coves.
Rest your head in a rustic room or high-end hotel; B&Bs, motels, and inns line the coast.

Pacific Grove Overview

Some compare 2 1/2-square-mile Pacific Grove -- the locals call it "PG" -- to Carmel as it was about 20 years ago. Although tourists wind their way through here on oceanfront trails and dining excursions, the town remains quaint and peaceful -- amazing considering that Monterey is a stone's throw away (a quarter of the Monterey Bay Aquarium is actually in Pacific Grove). Although neighboring Monterey is comparatively congested and cosmopolitan, Pacific Grove is a community sprinkled with historic homes, flowers, and the kind of tranquility that inspires butterflies to flutter about and deer to meander fearlessly across the road in search of another garden to graze.
