Asilomar State Beach, State beach and conference grounds in Pacific Grove, US
The one-mile coastal stretch combines sandy sections with rocky coves, bordered by the Asilomar Coast Trail along the Pacific Ocean.
In 1913, architect Julia Morgan designed the Asilomar Conference Center for YWCA, which received National Historic Landmark status in 1987.
The land carries deep connections to the Rumsen Ohlone people, who inhabited this section of the Monterey Peninsula before European settlement.
The conference grounds provide beach wheelchairs at the Phoebe Apperson Hearst Social Hall front desk for visitors with mobility requirements.
The Asilomar Marine Reserve prohibits fishing to protect thousands of marine species within its protected waters along the California coast.
