Asilomar State Beach — Attraction in Pacific Grove

Located at the tip of Monterey Peninsula, Asilomar State Beach is an one mile strip of sandy dunes with a wooden trail runs through it. The trail is wheelchair accessible, and bicycling friendly. But the beach does not have a rest room facility. It is only available at Asilomar Conference Grounds.

It's reminiscent of what the ancients incorporated into their rituals and daily patterns to show their gratitude for the sun god Ra and other gods, while simultaneously showing their solidarity as a people. Watching the sunset with strangers is somehow more beautiful than alone, or even with just loved ones. It's a reminder that the things we spend our attention on that drive us apart, are nothing more than forces of ego and senselessness. We are together all the same. We are no better than anyone else. We're all in this as one people on a rare planet in a rare solar system. There's a glimmer of hope for a peaceful future for mankind in every sunset.
