City of Pacific Grove

Sharing borders with the Monterey Bay, City of Monterey, Pacific Ocean, and the Del Monte Forest, Pacific Grove offers breathtaking views and recreational activities. Founded in 1875 as a Methodist summer retreat, the City is rich in history and retains its charming Victorian character. The City provides services to the community including: excellent public safety services; an award-winning natural history museum; a historic Carnegie public library; the lowest crime rate of any city in Monterey County; a nationally-recognized 18-hole golf course; a monarch butterfly habitat sanctuary; sandy beaches; and, the oldest continuously-operating lighthouse on the west coast. We are known for our small-town hospitality and friendliness in a place that locals simply call "P.G."
