The location is the best. Beds are super comfy. Coffee in the room is weak and the worst. There is coffee available for sale across the street but not until 9a.

Stunning views, crystal clear water, it looked like paradise! I wish I had a beach like this at home to call my own!

Lovers Point in Pacific Grove is somewhat protected cove with a nice little beach where you can rent paddle boards, kayaks etc. The Bay here is usually quite calm. Pleasant walks can be taken in each direction. Food is available and parking is usually easy to locate and free.

It was a little stormy when we visited, but this would be an ideal spot for a picnic on a decent day. Beautiful views!

It's on your way to the famous 17-mile drive (separate review) and, on a good weather day, it's paradise for the senses: views, sounds, smells... Tons of birds around, flying or drying on the rocks, dogs running, kids playing, very pleasant

A classic place to see when visiting Pacific Grove. Our trip was curtailed as there had been a shark attack a couple days prior to our arrival and parts of the shore were closed off.

The weather really brught out all the kids at Lover's Point. They all had a wonderful time playing in the water.

Fun spot to take a dip and feed the tame squirrels. The view of the ocean is over the top beautiful and there is plenty of room to let the kids run or to sit down and enjoy a picnic lunch. It’s dog friendly and just beautiful. Be sure to stop by!

Super beautiful, quiet and scenic. Lots of places around to eat and relax. Downtown is a few blocks away.

The views are great, the beach was small and crowded. The park part was uncrowded and very nice with benches in many good spots. Scenery is the hit and it's part of the walking/biking trail that hugs the coastline, so easy to get to. Some parking nearby.

It would be a long walk, but beautiful. Probably close to 1.5 miles, so round trip would be 3 miles back to hotel. We found plenty of parking along Ocean Veiw Blvd. If you don’t want to walk that distance, I recommend driving to a spot just beyond the aqarium and walking the trail to Lovers Point and back. That would be about half the distance and you still get all the beauty of the ocean trail.
The trail beyond Lovers point is also beautiful as is the drive around the rest of Pacific Grove all the way to Asimolar Beach.

Are there spots that are easy to get to water and swim in?

I don't know what area the other person was talking about. We have walked the trail out to the golf coarse several times and it is fairly easy and flat. The coastal trail has several access points down to the water and some small beaches. Lovers point has a small beach. You have to realize that the trail is along the bluff and that there are rocks, small beaches and tide pools below the bluff with access points along the trail. There are no life guards at these beaches. Best bet is to look on google maps using the satellite view and zoom in to the areas you want to visit.

I was just there this week end. I really don't know about taking a BBQ onto the beach but the nice park just steps up from the beach has built in BBQ's. The park has great ocean views and is just steps from the beach.

Not sure whether this is regarding Lover's Point but if it is, it's a public area so accessible to the Public, 24/7.
