Asilomar State Beach reviews

Great place to walk along the shore, sit on the beach and watch surfers in the afternoon. Perfect for swimming if you want to brave the cold Pacific. more »

This beautiful beach is truly a hidden gem! The beach is clean and quiet and NOT OVERCROWDED like some of the surrounding beaches. There is plenty of street parking and even designated handicapped..... more »

Too many cars and too many people!!!

Beautiful even in the fog. Boardwalks, churning waves crashing on rocky shores, flowers even in September.
