Asilomar State Beach & Conference Grounds

Asilomar's conference grounds have been part of the Pacific Grove Community for over 85 years and have been a part of the State Park System for nearly a half-century. Asilomar has evolved in order to assure its world-renowned retreat status, while protecting its incomparable natural and cultural resources. So that Asilomar may continue to meet the needs of our visitors, a general plan update was completed between 2001 and 2004. The plan was approved by the California Park and Recreation Commission in September, 2004. This updated plan will ensure public enjoyment while continuing to protect the historic and natural resource values that help to create Asilomar's unique beauty and ambiance.
