Lovers Point
According to local legend, this park was originally called "Lovers of Jesus Point," back in the era when Pacific Grove was a Methodist retreat camp.
John Denver Memorial
The John Denver Memorial is a sad reminder of one of the biggest tragedies in the American Music Industry with the death of John Denver who was not only known for his singing and songwriting but also known as being an environmental activist and a humanitarian. His plane crashed in Monterey Bay on October 12, 1997. The memorial is a way to celebrate his incredible legacy as you reflect upon the fantastic ocean views, a fitting tribute for the singer and songwriter. Even if you weren't a fan this location is lovely along the coast between Pacific Grove and Asilomar.
Point Pinos Lighthouse
Point Pinos Lighthouse was lit on February 1, 1855, to guide ships on the Pacific Coast of California. It is the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the West Coast of the United States and even the lens is original. The lighthouse is situated on the south entrance to the Monterey Bay which makes this a great place to scan the horizon for migrating whales!
Asilomar State Beach
Asilomar State Beach "Refuge by the Sea" is Pacific Groves largest beach and stretches one-mile and is made up of rocky coves and a few sandy areas. The beach is popular with surfers, kayakers, dog walkers, and offers beautiful views and walking trails. Asilomar State Beach is part of the Asilomar Marine Reserve due to its rich ecosystem and biodiversity, fishing is prohibited.

Point Joe
Point Joe is the 5th point on 17-Mile Drive. Its coastline is made of Granite rocks formed 65 million years back and it gives this coastline a rugged look. The place had several shipwrecks in history due to its rocky shares and its location near to Monterey Bay. The place has ample parking and sitting benches to relax. There are several information boards to read about the place. About the origin of the name Point Joe, there is debate over that for years now. Some historians believe that there was a Chinese man who lived in a driftwood structure here in the early 1900's that sold goods to explorers. It is unclear whether Point Joe was named for the Chinese man or if the man was named after the location. A great place to look out for everyones favorite marine mammal the Souther Sea Otter.
