Asilomar State Beach and Conference Grounds, http://parks.ca.gov/central/monterey/asilomar.htm,

is located in Pacific Grove, California on 105 acres of forest, dune and beach at the tip of California’s historic Monterey Peninsula. Overlooking the Pacific, meeting accommodations are set among Monterey pines and cypresses. Asilomar retains most of the original flora and fauna of the peninsula. Sea otters and seals swim off shore. Deer and raccoons live on the grounds. The tide pools of the Asilomar State Beach are just a few minutes from the Conference Center.

The hotel offers a variety of recreational opportunities including a heated swimming pool, horseshoe pits, volleyball courts, and an exercise trail. Off the grounds, the area offers some of the world’s best golf, sport fishing and boating. Horseback riding is available in the Del Monte Forest. Golf and tennis may be arranged through Asilomar. It is just a few minutes from popular tourist destinations in Carmel and Monterey – 17 Mile Drive and surrounded by neighboring Carmel, Cannery Row (just 2 miles), Monterey Bay Aquarium and Fisherman’s Wharf. A bus stop is conveniently located at the entrance to the grounds that can take participants to many of the popular restaurants and tourist sites.
