Asilomar State Beach is a narrow one-mile strip of natural heaven located in Pacific Grove, California. Featuring a sandy beach and rocky coves, the beach also offers stunning views of the ocean landscape. The rocky coves along the beach are home to thousands of species native to this bay, some of which are completely unique to this region.

The beach is part of the Asilomar Marine Reserve, a Marine Protected Area, which means that all natural marine features from fish to shells and rocks are protected by the state.
