Pacific Grove's shoreline offers something for everyone. Here you'll find walking trails and biking paths, parks and beaches, panoramic views and places to watch wildlife, and fishing spots and tidal pools, among other attractions. Also, much of the shoreline has been designated an "Area of Special Biological Significance," meaning that it supports a unique variety of marine life and is especially worthy of protection from pollution.

As you might imagine, there's more to the waterfront--a lot more!--than what you can see with your own eyes. There are things that occurred in the past, things that take place offshore, things that go on underground, and things that happen only during certain seasons or even just during certain times of the day. What you see is just a sliver of what's here.

This tour tells some of those hidden stories that will help you learn more about the shoreline's history, culture and ecology. Come along and let us show you!
