Julia Morgan, the first woman to be licensed as an architect in California, designed the Asilomar Conference Grounds in the early 20th century.
The beach is home to a rare coastal dune ecosystem, which supports a variety of native plants and wildlife.
It lies within the Asilomar State Marine Reserve, which helps conserve marine life and habitats along the California coast.
The name 'Asilomar' is derived from Spanish, meaning 'refuge by the sea,' reflecting its tranquil coastal setting.
Visitors can explore the rocky shoreline to discover a variety of marine life, including starfish, crabs, and sea anemones.
