There is a recreational Trail running parallel to the Blvd.It extends into Sunset Dr in the West and Cannery Row in Monterey.Close to sun set it gets very busy and there are cars parked, were they can to watchthe beautiful sun sets.
Our bed and breakfast looks over the boulevard and as I am sitting right now, I ear the waves breaking and the quiet of the seashore. Great walking!
Wonderful piece of coast line at the southern end of the Monterey Peninsula, away from most of the hustle and bustle of Monterey. Start at Lovers Point and walk as far as you want Asilimar Beach is a great place to turn and head back home.They are plenty of benches to rest and take in the magnificent views and absorb the sound of nature. And don't forget to take water and your camera.
If you yearn for a small town Christmas you have to visit Pacific Grove during the holiday season. The decorated storefronts the merchants that truly enjoy sharing their unique coastal wares with you. So put the rat-race behind you even if it is only for a few hours. Parking is not too bad and the walk is pleasant and not overly crowded.
The boulevard walk is definitely worthwhile. The ocean views are excellent and it is also possible to appreciate to appreciate some of the architecture that distinguishes Pacific Grove.
Ocean view Blvd in Pacific Grove has the best beauty and use for the Monterey Bay. It is uncluttered and natural compared to the Cannery Row tourist area and business sections along the Northern part. When the tide is out, there are many stone staircases down to the wet sand where you can bring little guys to inspect hermit crabs and other tide pool species. The walking path is well maintained and very clean. The homes along this blvd are interesting to look at too. As you draw closer to Lover's Point Beach you can find a few places to stop and eat too.
Bring your bike or just your walking shoes, this is a MUST do when you are in the area! Either side of the street offers fabulous views. If you aren't looking at the breathtaking Pacific Ocean, then the gorgeous homes are a delight to see!
Pleasant drive along the waterfront from Cannery Row around Lovers Point and Point Pinos, past the lighthouse and around to the Asilomar, where the road becomes Sunset Drive.
Yes, this attraction is not as diverse as "Point Lobos" I already reviewed but it is free. Moreover, you can easily stopped at many view points as you like. Another selling point is to take pictures of wildflowers at "Lover's point" although it was a bit early now.
Too many people on the weekends. I liked walking the area, the (used to be free)nature museum. Talk to locals, ask questions.
