This site is a popular outdoor location for weddings (large and small) in Pacific Grove. There are actually two venues here-- a rentable area that overlooks the ocean as well as a small section of beach.
Beach Venue - the beach may be used for a wedding without a permit or reservation. However, note that this beach disappears at high tide! Check tide tables to ensure that there will be a beach there on your chosen date and time.
Overlook Venue - A very popular wedding venue that can be reserved. Beautiful grassy area, eucalyptus trees, rocky outcroppings and beach access with a gorgeous staircase that makes for great photos.
