Kissing Rock View Point — Local services in Pacific Grove

This overlook over one of the many gorgeous views of Monterey Bay appears to have been recently renovated, allowing additional vehicles to park and enjoy the beauty. Parking is free and it is such a beautiful spot to just park and take in the sights.

The tide was at its low point while were there, and we had just had a good-sized storm roll through, so the waves were rough and spectacular. A walking trail is nestled in next the coast and runs for miles. You will see couples strolling, joggers, folks having an impromptu picnic on one of the many benches, unique plant life, chipmunks and ground squirrels, birds galore, and even sea otters (they were riding the wave swells while we watched). If you're lucky, you'll even see a breaching whale!

Monterey Bay is...

I visited recently, and the natural beauty of the rocky shoreline combined with the crashing waves was absolutely mesmerizing. The iconic “Kissing Rock” formation truly lives up to its name — two giant rocks meeting at a point, shaped like a perfect kiss from nature! The walking trail along the coast is peaceful, well-maintained, and filled with blooming flowers, making it perfect for a morning stroll or a romantic evening. Benches along the path offer a chance to sit, reflect, and take in the panoramic ocean views. It’s also a great spot for photography, especially during sunset when the light hits the rocks just right. If you’re visiting Monterey or Pacific Grove, this spot is a must-see. Quiet, scenic, and full of charm — it’s nature’s own...

I was here on 10/3/2020. It was easy to find parking,no entrance fee. no parking fee . There is a dramatic granite arch, where the 2 rocks in a perpetual kiss, as well as the waves crashing behind and underneath of them. It is popular destination for everyone! One of the most romantic spot in this Bay Area. I had a spectacular view of them from those benches near by. Hiking a long the coast is my favorite, I enjoy to hear the soundtrack of the waves hugging the rocks. Climbing on those interesting rocks formation of the Pacific Grove. I’m highly recommend this kissing rock view to everyone...
