Location Information

Welcome to Pacific Grove!

Known as America’s Last Hometown, Pacific Grove is known for its Victorian homes, Asilomar State Beach, and for being known as "Butterfly Town U.S.A. for the annual migration of the monarch butterflies. The city is endowed with more historical houses per capita than anywhere in California and is home to Point Pinos Lighthouse, the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the West Coast.  

As part of the Monterey Peninsula, Pacific Grove offers a little something for everyone, whether its a walk on the beach, a scenic drive down Highway 1, a whale watching adventure, or a visit to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It is the perfect place to unplug from your normal routine and rejuvenate your soul.
