About this beach
Monterey State Beach is three sandy beaches on Monterey Bay between Seaside and Monterey. It's used for picnicking, fishing, swimming, surfing and windsurfing; there's no campground.
Access
For the north end, take the Highway 218 (Seaside) exit west of Highway 1 to the parking lot. The south end is reached west of Figueroa Street and Del Monte Avenue. Day use is 8 a.m. to sunset.
Rules
Leashed dogs are allowed south of the Monterey Tides Hotel, but not north of it. Beach bonfires haven't been allowed anywhere in the Monterey District since September 2014. In early spring, watch for roped-off snowy plover areas.
