A summer weekend at the beach-no schedule, lots of hanging out and eating :)
Since this is northern California a beach mostly means a rocky shoreline-lol!
Which is pretty amazing, you can see the kelp clumps and wildlife from the cliff tops.
And sure, sometimes there is a smidge of beach. Wherever there is 20 ft of consecutive beach everyone flocks there, putting in kayaks and stand-up paddle boards, making sandcastles, swimming and picnicking.
Where there is no beach you still have flocks of people climbing over the rocks to get a good photo of the ocean,
Which is pretty much impossible since it is too huge and overwhelming. But we all try.
The town of Pacific Grove is incredibly cute. The blocks near the ocean are full of tiny beach houses with tiny lawn areas.
Most have cute decorations/house paint/gardens. I loved the little free library. I even bought books at the library book sale.
Love the lobster mailbox!
It is super near the famous Monterey Bay Aquarium. My photos don't do it justice so I will just direct you to the live jelly cam!
and point out that in the play area you can dress up as ocean creatures-how cute it that!!!
We also went to the Dennis the Menace park-fantastic! The biggest twirly slide I have seen and a super long suspension bridge.
