2017-11-26T01:58:20.000Z,recQU4NFdOztao9sg,Carmel/Monterey,"Asilomar State Beach is within the boundary of Asilomar Marine Reserve. It was established as a state beach in 1956 and as a Marine Reserve in 2006. This site is a granite outcrop with a good amount of relief. Be prepared to climb over steep rocks. Make certain that anyone coming out to the site has suitable shoes.


The entire Monterey Peninsula has fabulous tide pools at low tides. The many small coves of Asilomar State Beach are a good place to focus. A trail meanders along the bluff with easy access to most of the coves.

Although the beach is only about a mile long, the amount of life packed into that small space makes Asilomar State Beach one of the richest marine areas in the world. An easily accessible hiking trail wanders along the cliffs and leads down to the coves where the tide pools are found. Couple the trail accessibility and lush seascape with delicious local restaurants like Passionfish and you can easily make a whole day out of your Asilomar tide-pooling adventure.

Rocky terrain, crystal clear blue water and tons of sea life inhabit this beach in Monterey Bay. There is ample parking and the beach is even handicap accessible for beach wheelchairs. Watch where you step so that you don’t crush the small creatures that reside there. The Point Pinos Lighthouse is a short walk along the coast but the bathrooms are not close by so plan accordingly.",us,36.6217613,-121.9423269,Asilomar State Beach,us_pacific_coast,asilomar-state-beach,America/Los_Angeles,http://www.californiabeaches.com/beach/asilomar-state-beach/,"To reach the tidepools, look for the State Parks marker #10 and continue down that trail straight to the tidepools.","1950 Sunset Dr. Pacific Grove,",Restrooms are located at the Asilomar Conference Grounds across the street,Nearby,,,"There is ample parking and the beach is even handicap accessible for beach wheelchairs.

These two tidepool areas are located in Pacific Grove off Sunset Drive/Highway 68 and Asilomar Avenue. Point Pinos, also known as the Great Tide Pool, is one of the richest tidepool habitats in the world. At higher tides, some of the tidepools in this area remain exposed.",us,36.6374544,-121.9323833,Point Pinos (maybe split this into two with Ed rickets),us_pacific_coast,point-pinos,America/Los_Angeles,,"The sampling site is out of sight from the parking lot among the rocks that jut out to sea to the northwest. A corroded steel pipe emerges from the sand near the low tide level and extends out into the intertidal; this was Pacific Grove's sewer disposal line that was abandoned in the mid-1980s. 

Follow the pipe out into the rocks until you can climb up onto the isolated, flat, knoll that is covered with grasses and ice plants. Cross the knoll and descend on the other side, look to the left for a permanent tidepool. On the southwest (left) side of the tidepool is a rockyoutcrop with a mussel bed on the south side.",,Restrooms are located in a building between the parking area and Asilomar Avenue.
