Lover's Point Beach, Sand beach in Pacific Grove, US.
The beach features a concrete wall and breakwater protection from northern winds, creating safer conditions for swimming in the Pacific Ocean.
Since the late 1800s, this Pacific Grove location transformed from a Methodist retreat named 'Lovers of Jesus Point' into a recreational coastal destination.
The 4.4-acre park serves as a central gathering point for community events, including the annual Pacific Grove Summer Lights celebration and outdoor weddings.
Visitors find amenities including a volleyball court, children's swimming pool, concrete pier, restaurant, snack bar, and dedicated parking lot at 17th Street.
This rare east-facing beach on the West Coast allows visitors to watch the sunrise over the Pacific Ocean waters, contrary to typical sunset views.
