Across the street from Asilomar State Beach is Asilomar Dunes Natural Preserve, where a landmark stile stands at the gateway to this preserve and the Asilomar Conference Grounds.
A ¼ mile boardwalk meanders through 25 acres of restored sand dune ecosystem where visitors can discover the native plant greenhouse where more than 450,000 plants, representing 25 species, have been grown and planted in the effort to preserve the dunes and coastal bluffs.
Several boardwalk outlooks provide panoramic views of Asilomar State Beach and the blue Pacific Ocean.
Dogs must be leashed at all times and be in the immediate control of the handler.
