Asilomar State Beach - CA
Asilomar (meaning "a refuge by the sea") State Beach and Conference Grounds is located on the Monterey Peninsula in the city of Pacific Grove.
This narrow one-mile strip of sandy beach and rocky coves includes a pedestrian trail permitting leashed and controlled dogs. Bicycle riding is allowed on the paved road bike lane in very near the trail. Be wary, there are no restrooms or picnicking facilities at the state beach. Asilomar State Beach is part of the Pacific Grove Fish Garden Refuge and the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.
