Shoreline Park

Shoreline Park is one of Monterey’s most scenic oceanfront walks, combining open coastal views, wildlife sightings, and easy access to the city’s waterfront attractions. Stretching along the Ocean View Boulevard all the way to Asilomar State Beach, this park encompasses the publicly-owned waterfront of Pacific Grove after Lovers Point. Lined with native plants and resting benches, it’s a favorite route for both locals and visitors looking to enjoy a calm, ocean-breezy stroll.

• Elevated bluffs and grassy areas

• Constant views of sailboats, seabirds, and the bay’s gentle waves

• Beaches, turn-outs, and vista points punctuate the walk

What to expect

Dog owners will find Shoreline Park to be an ideal destination for relaxed, scenic walks with their pets. The trail with multiple lookouts and pullouts, makes it easily accessible and the coastal breeze keeps temperature comfortable year-round. As you walk, expect sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, with opportunities to spot sea lions, harbor seals, otters, and seabirds resting on the rocks below. The overall atmosphere is calm, clean, and welcoming.

Tips for visiting

• Dogs are welcome throughout, but must remain leashed

• No drinking fountains on route so pack water and a collapsible bowl for your dog
