Conference Environment & Location

Asilomar State Beach and Conference Grounds is set next to the beautiful 17-Mile Drive in Pacific Grove, California. Known for the striking architecture of Julia Morgan and John Carl Warnecke, Asilomar is also home to many ocean and shore creatures living on its dunes and beaches. Weather can be foggy and damp or warm and sunny, even in the same day.  Be prepared for temperatures in the 40s and 50s, with the possibility of rain.

Asilomar is a California State Park on the Monterey Peninsula. As such, it is situated in a sensitive and unique natural area, which is maintained by Asilomar Staff and California’s State Park Rangers. As guests in this facility, our cooperation and respect for the site and the staff are vitally important.
