Perfection under tropical blue skies. Nice seeing respectful visitors all with masks enjoying what us locals take for granted. The blue skies today were a serious kick up the butt enjoy your own back yard!Not sure what status Beach House is at but best quality and value food with a view in PG/Monterey!

Fun. Beautiful. Peaceful. The weather was so nice, the ocean water did not feel ice cold. It was very enjoyable.

I had never been this fabulous ocean views area before when I lived in Bay Area. Accidentally, went through Monterey and found out this hidden gem (at least to me). I personally think this should be the extra mile of the famous 17 miles drive. I definitely will stay here one night when I return in the future to fully explore all these magnificent beaches & ocean views of Pacific Grove.

Nice spot but be little careful on those rocks before posing for a camera! Parking can be a issue here but watching a sunset will take away all fatigue if you have to park little far. Park is well maintained. Theres volleyball net & picnic area. A small beach with big waves perfect for surfers! Lots of benches to sit & relax while kids run around! This can be a great spot for wedding photography as well as long as you can beat the crowd!

If you’re in the Monterey area, this is such a great place to check out. This was my first trip to California and it was in May. So it was a little chilly outside, but at least I can say I’ve been in the Pacific ocean now! Haha. There’s tons of great places to eat right around here and I even saw a couple of sea otters and some seals. Which was super cool! Everyone that I met was really friendly and I hope I get a chance to visit this area again!

Awesome place, great views and beach access. The water hardly had any waves which is great for kids and just a good place to swim in which makes sense seeing all the snorkel and scuba divers swimming out from here. The rocks are cool to climb and explore as long as youre careful and watch your footing.

My boys and I had a wonderful unexpected afternoon at Lovers Point Park. Even on a cool day, the ocean was beautiful and inviting. We enjoyed exploring the tidepools and the beautiful sand. Seeing by boys happy and unplugged made for a memorable day!

Love to be here any time of the year, there is always something to do and explore. My family loves to go for a swim or even a walk. There are benches conveniently everywhere to rest and also tables where the family can enjoy some food.

Great hidden tide pools and of course the view!! Great day here. Well worth the trip to this spot. Make sure you go down to the beach and over the small rock wall. You will be rewarded by a secluded tide pool.

Excellent view of the bay from the beach overlook. Kayak/bike/wetsuit rentals are available. There is also a cafe and pool here. Decent amount of 2 hr street parking close by. The bike path leads directly to Cannery Row (tourist area). Its an excellent bike ride along the coast. Highly recommended.

Great place for all ages. The water is still and shallow making it easy to have your kids or pets play, learn snorkeling/scuba or simply relax by the beach. Can’t wait to go again

Always a tourist destination to represent all that is wonderful about Monterey. The place is so pretty, basically all the tourists have to come here to indicate that they have visited Monterey. Try the secluded beach thats hidden from the popular park and the big beach, this is where you will find amazing tide pools and wild life aplenty.

This is one of my favorite beaches to visit when I come to Monterey. The beauty of lovers point is breathtaking! Its a great place to bring my kids to get their toes wet in the sand and chase the waves. My almost 3 year(34 month)old daughter loves it so much that she has a meltdown everytime we have to leave!

Gorgeous scenery!! Colorful beach atmosphere. There’s a lovely trail walk besides the magnificent beach. It’s so much dreamy to walk leisurely while watching the awesome waves in the Pacific Ocean. In spring there were pretty pink little wildflowers everywhere near the trail. Those were adding a special beauty to the beach scenery. Kissing rocks and the crashing waves, are just surreal to sit and watch. Great !!

Gorgeous place to go! Absolutely stunning! During the afternoon they stop letting you in tho, but usually if you just drive in there are open parking spots. Not saying you should do that!

Very nice and romantic drive along the beautiful California coast line. Many places to stop a linger for a while. Lovers point park is a must stop. Good, and easy access to the beach, many park benches to seat and enjoy the ocean. Plan to stay and treats yourself to the gorgeous sunset. Then come back in town for dinner.

Best spot to come if you want to avoid crowds during pandemic if you come early before 1pm for an early walk by the many beach access points, variety of plants, kid friendly beaches; clean restrooms with no contact entryway by cafe, and beautiful park by the ocean teaming with wildlife and crashing waves. Watch out for the fat squirrels

Great beach to stroll around and enjoy the beautiful waters here. Setting up a beach camp here is probably not advised as this spot has a lot of foot traffic and tourists.

Review №42

Very beautiful place, very interesting wildlife. All around 5 stars.. Thing is there were “DON’T FEED THE ANIMALS” signs posted around and I saw at least 3 people/families giving bread loafs or other food to the animals. This really made me mad. To say about the businesses around a lady told me and my family not to bike on the curb/sidewalk, I understand this but the park is in the path of a large biking road. There was a sign I would have seen several times that says no bikes on sidewalk but it was hidden behind a tree I did love this closer to the sidewalk and had a small fit about this.

Super cute place! Be careful, those rocks can be dangerous, so watch your little ones. But there’s great places to picnic and the views are gorgeous!

Very nice place for the family to spend some time in one of the most scenic places in Pacific Grove. Also, a great place to take beautiful photos of the beach and the ocean. Parking is not that big of a problem here as you can easily find a free spot in the street.

This looks like a great spot to spend a weekend afternoon at. sadly, we visited during CoViD and werent really able to enjoy the full park because a portion was closed off. there were still a fair amount of people running around and having fun though.

Noticed some new business taking over the old lattitudes restaurant, cant tell what it is, windows were all covered, and they added a parkinglot in back. Beachouse was packed out on street and upstairs, on their outdoor covered balcony, it was the evening, so it was really dark, but lots of people sitting on the beach and airrounding areas

A beautiful beach and park with places to park and enough space to really enjoy it all. Not as crowded as I might have expected. Lots of nearby motels and restaurants, and the goofiest squirrels youll ever meet. Worth a trip for the views and photography!

There was a STRONG oder of urine, but there was also a kids group there that day. Beyond that, its a cute park. Decently clean. The squirrels are pretty aggressive since theyre being fed by tourists. My favorite part were the well manicures trees.

The water was clear and warmer than other times. It was over cast in the morning but around 11 it cleared up, enough that I got a big sun burn. The little beach itself is gorgeous, small little area to hang out for the day. I was there for the Feast of Lanterns and it packed up really quick. Other than that its a great relaxing location and you can walk to the aquarium or take a bike.

Review №82

Very pretty place to relax and watch the ocean. You can walk along the walking path and take pretty pictures, or sit on the rocks or benches and just look out over the ocean. Theres a little park and a little bit of beach access, which is pretty fun. Theres lots of plants along the walking paths which make for lovely photos. I can definitely see why they call it Lovers Point, it really would be a lovely place to go on a date outside ♡ Theres street parking and is close to town (Pacific Grove main streets are a few blocks away).

Review №88

What a gorgeous surprise that awaited me here! This park has a little bit of everything. Youve got some rocks to climb on, a nice sandy beach to dig your toes into, picnic tables to eat on, lots of grass to lay on, and the views - wow. Plenty of beautiful ocean to check out.Now, I do expect a place like this to get crowded during the busier summer months with perfect weather, but it was a great little evening escape as the sun was starting to set. Parking could potentially be a challenge during the busier season as well, however, it was hard to find anything I didnt like about this place.

Review №95

We rented two single person kayaks and paddled over to Otter Cove. ($20 per hour for the first hour, $10 per hour for the second, total of $60 for two kayaks out for two hours - very fair rate) The views were gorgeous, and Monterey Bay is just teeming with aquatic life. We saw birds, some seals, and came across a group of about 8 otters in the kelp. Of course, we kept our distance so we didnt disturb them, but occasionally, they surfaced pretty close to the kayaks. Its a beautiful place to spend the afternoon appreciating the wildlife. Just make sure you confirm where you can and cant go. Some beaches in Monterey come with hefty fines if you land on them without permission. Thankfully, the rental shop was very knowledgable and gave us a clear understanding of that.

Review №96

Yes, you must go there. Marvel, climb those rocks, take all the pictures, squeak when you spot the first ground squirrel, then realise theres dozens around, sigh at all that beauty, thank me later. Dont forget time, youre only allowed to park for 2hrs at a time. Now get back in the car and continue the jaw-dropping sightseeing along the 17mile Drive - youre welcome. Yes, more squirrels too!
