Since the late 1800s, the beach at Lovers Point in Pacific Grove has been a popular spot for lounging, walking, kayaking, swimming, and, over recent decades, surfers have joined the mix. Lovers Point Park has above all become Pacific Grove's best-loved spot for picnics, plein air painting and scenic photography. Due to its unique east-facing location, it is also one of the few spots on the West Coast where you can watch the sunrise over the water. Locals can always be found hanging out on the grass at Pacific Grove's well-groomed 4.4-acre Lovers Point Park. Many visitors climb the rocks at the point for which it is named to get a spectacular view of Monterey Bay.
