Pacific Grove
A small
coastal town that sits between Monterey
California and world famous Pebble Beach
on the Pacific Ocean.
Pacific Grove,
or "P.G." as the locals say,
is known as "Butterfly Town USA" because
of its annual migration of millions of
Monarch Butterflies. Also making its
home in Pacific Grove is Lover’s Point
and the Point Pinos Lighthouse – the
oldest active
lighthouse on the West
Coast today. Charming restaurants, shopping,
biking trails and
spectacular coastline
are all worth the drive!
Distance: Pacific Grove is 15 minutes
from the hotel.
