Point Pinos Lighthouse

4.5/5(287 reviews)

Experience a piece of American maritime history with a tour of one of the oldest lighthouses on the West Coast.

Finish the day and take a refuge at the Asilomar conference grounds which literally means asylum by the sea. There is another reason I want to experience this place too, because it was here 50 years ago that a bunch of bioscientists had a conference that started the biotech revolution.

Asilomar Dunes Nature Preserve

Explore the great outdoors at Asilomar Dunes Nature Preserve, a lovely green space in Pacific Grove. Discover the beautiful sunsets in this walkable area, or enjoy its biking trails.
