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.
