Monterey Bay Coastal Trail Monterey Bay Aquarium to Lucas Point - Monterey California Hikes

The Monterey Bay Coastal Trail follows the beautiful rocky coastline along the blufftop in Pacific Grove. The trail threads through several parks en route to the northern tip of Pacific Grove, passing dramatic rock formations, tide-pools, small beach coves and overlooks. The waters surrounding the peninsula are part of the Pacific Grove Marine Gardens Fish Refuge, a national marine sanctuary.
