About Pacific Grove Adventures
Pacific Grove Adventures is a multi-sport rental outfitter located at Lovers Point Beach in Pacific Grove, one of the most picturesque launch points on the Monterey Peninsula. Sitting at the junction of the Monterey Bay Coastal Rec Trail and the rugged Pacific Grove Marine Gardens shoreline, they offer immediate access to calm-water paddling in the protected cove, cycling on the paved coastal trail, and snorkelling in the kelp gardens that fringe the rocky coastline — all from a single beachside location.
Their rental selection covers kayaks (single and tandem), stand-up paddleboards, bikes, e-bikes, snorkel gear, surfboards, boogie boards, and wetsuits. SUP lessons are available for beginners, and their staff provide detailed launch-site briefings for self-guided paddlers, pointing out the best routes for sea otter sightings, kelp forest exploration, and harbour seal haul-outs along the Pacific Grove shoreline. Bike rentals come with route maps for the coastal trail, Asilomar State Beach loop, and the 17-Mile Drive entry at the Pacific Grove gate.
The strength of Pacific Grove Adventures is their location — Lovers Point is sheltered enough for family-friendly paddling yet opens directly onto the marine sanctuary for more adventurous kayakers and snorkellers. Sea otters regularly feed within 50 metres of the launch beach, and the underwater visibility in the marine gardens can exceed 30 feet on calm mornings. For visitors based in Pacific Grove or Monterey, this is the most scenic and accessible waterfront rental operation on the peninsula.
