About This Beach
Monastery Beach, located near Point Lobos State Park, offers stunning coastal scenery with dramatic waves crashing against a shore of uniquely colored pebbles rather than soft sand. While known for its beauty, the beach is considered dangerous for swimming due to strong currents and a steep drop-off, making it more suitable for scenic walks, picnics, and sunbathing. Restrooms are available, along with occasional lifeguard presence.
