Lovers Point Park
A headland park in the town of Pacific Grove, with granite rocks, a small beach, and bay views. In spring, the coastline is covered with pink ice plant flowers.
Lovers Point lies in the town of Pacific Grove. The granite headland extends into Monterey Bay and has lawns, a small beach, and a floating dock. It is a good place for swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking, and sea otters often float among the giant kelp near shore. From April to May, the magic carpet ice plant blooms along the coastal path, forming pink and purple bands of flowers that are very photogenic. Nearby are cafés and picnic areas. Parking is free but spaces are limited.
