About Pacific Grove
Beach
Pacific Grove Beach, located between Lovers Point Park and Asilomar State Beach, is a coastal and walkable Pacific Grove neighborhood with a rocky shoreline and a classic oceanfront promenade. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Ocean View Boulevard at Lovers Point, where beach paths, kayak rentals, and café patios set a salt-air rhythm. The Beach House Restaurant + Bar anchors waterfront dining, while the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History and the historic Point Pinos Lighthouse add local texture. Low-slung cottages and tidy bungalows mix with ocean-view condos near the Recreation Trail. Pocket beaches, tidepools, and cypress groves shape daily routines. Sunset watchers and morning runners share the same wide horizon.
