Renowned for its Victorian homes, Asilomar State Beach and the annual migration of Monarch butterflies, Pacific Grove is located between Point Pinos and Monterey and has a rare combination of unique attributes.
Pacific Grove, which locals simply call “PG,” has more Victorian houses per capita than anywhere else in the United States. And its Point Pinos Lighthouse is the oldest continuously-operating lighthouse on the West Coast.
Pacific Grove was founded in 1875 by a group of Methodists who modeled the town after Ocean Grove, New Jersey. Like nearby Monterey and Carmel-by-the-Sea and Monterey, the hamlet became an artists’ haven in the 1890s.
John Steinbeck lived for many years in a cottage in Pacific Grove owned by his father, Ernest, who was Monterey County Treasurer. The cottage still stands on a quiet side street.
