Hangout at the Beach
One of the best parts of staying at Seascape Beach Resort is the private beach access. Walk down the path or let our staff take you to the beach on one of our golf carts. Stroll along our private beach and feel the ocean breeze as you explore the shoreline. We also offer amenities to set up a cozy beach bonfire!
Paddle the Bay
Reserve a kayak rental or tour with outfitters like Monterey Bay Kayaks and set out for a paddling adventure. Kayak by kelp beds while looking for wildlife like sea otters, harbor seals, and sea lions. A popular spot to launch your kayak is the Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Reserve, a coastal wetland area within the bay home to abundant wildlife.
Fish
Fishing in Monterey Bay is available from the shoreline or the water on a charter boat. Make sure you have the correct fishing license to cast your line from the beach and target species like salmon, rockfish, and mackerel. Or embark on a Monterey Bay fishing charter and let a local guide take you to the best spots.
Surf the Water
Monterey Bay is a popular surfing destination. There are surfing spots for all skill levels, from experienced surfers to beginners looking to get on the water for the first time. Experienced surfers can enjoy the consistent waves of Asilomar State Beach, while beginners can consult the help of surf schools in the area, like Big Surf Adventures, that will teach you how to surf for the first time.
Explore Tide Pools
Explore the tide pools found along the rocky shoreline of Monterey Bay and see unique plants and animals up close. Check the tide tables and head out at low tide to destinations like Point Pinos and Asilomar State Beach to see some unique creatures. Please step carefully and respect the wildlife that lives in these areas.
