Charming family-owned lodge on California's Central Coast.

The oldest working lighthouse on the West Coast is a six-minute walk away. 🏮 Point Pinos was first lit on 1 February 1855 and it has never stopped — still throwing its beam seventeen miles out through the same French Fresnel lens it was built with.

For twenty-one years it was kept by Emily Fish, who ran it with such style the town called her the Socialite Keeper. Open Thursday 1–3 and Friday to Sunday 11–3, seven dollars. Then walk out to the rocks behind it and watch the water do its thing.

You can leave the car parked all weekend. 🚶 From your room it's a few minutes on foot to downtown Pacific Grove — the bookshop, the bakeries, the good seafood, and on Mondays from 3 to 7 the farmers market fills the corner of Central and Grand.

Point Pinos, the Rec Trail and Lovers Point are all walkable too. Parking on the Peninsula is its own sport in season; ours is free, out front and round the back, and you won't need it much.

✨ Midweek stays (Mon–Thu) enjoy 10% off new bookings.

W**e, coast, and a Julia Morgan room. 🍷 Tides & Terroir lands at Asilomar this Friday and Saturday. Friday is a chefs' dinner in Merrill Hall — the 1928 redwood hall Julia Morgan designed, worth the ticket on its own.

Saturday is an outdoor tasting in Cypress Meadow with around twenty Monterey County w**eries pouring in the open air. It's a mile and a half from us: walk the dunes in the afternoon, taste in the evening, and skip the drive home entirely.

🌲 Book the room, not the taxi. Reserve at OlympiaLodge.com

Cake on the wharf, today. 🎂 Old Fisherman's Wharf turns 181 and the whole thing is free, 10am to 5pm.

Maritime historian Tim Thomas runs walking tours at 10 and 11:30, the General Pershing is open until 3, The Money Band plays 1 to 4, and the birthday cake comes out at 3:30 while it lasts. Fifteen minutes from your room, and worth the drive for the cake alone.

🌊 Still time to come. Book your stay at OlympiaLodge.com

October is humpback season, and they're close. 🐋 This is peak feeding time in Monterey Bay — the submarine canyon runs right up to the shoreline here, which is why the whales come in so near.

Right now that means lunge-feeding through bait balls, bubble-net feeding, and young whales breaching for what looks a lot like the fun of it. Boats leave from Fisherman's Wharf most mornings, or bring binoculars to Point Pinos and watch from the rocks for free.

🌊 Home base is fifteen minutes from the dock. Book your stay at

Two very different weekend plans, ten minutes apart. 🎨 Saturday evening, Meet the Makers in Carmel: follow blue lanterns through 18 artist-owned galleries, 15 Monterey County w**eries pouring, and the Monterey Symphony playing in Devendorf Park. 4–7pm, $50.

Sunday, Old Fisherman's Wharf turns 181 — and it's free. Historian-led walking tours at 10 and 11:30, the historic General Pershing open for tours, live music from 1, and sealife-themed birthday cake at 3:30 while it lasts. 🎂

One night of w**e and galleries, one afternoon of cake on the water. We'd do both. Book your stay at OlympiaLodge.com

Three good reasons to be in Pacific Grove this Saturday. ☕ The Austin Bantam Society brings its 58th year of tiny, immaculate pre-war cars to Jewell Park from 10am. A block away, the first-ever PG Home & Garden Show takes over Caledonia Park.

And down at Lovers Point, the Walk & Roll to Cure ALS rolls out along the Rec Trail — free to join if you register by Friday noon. Park once and walk to all three: our parking is free, and everything downtown is a few minutes on foot.

October is when they start arriving. 🦋 The Monarch Grove Sanctuary sits five minutes' walk from our front door — a quiet grove of pine, cypress and eucalyptus where monarchs cluster through the winter. Free, open sunrise to sunset, every day.

From this month there are museum docents on site to point out what you'd otherwise walk straight past. And a word of honesty: monarch numbers have been low these last few seasons, so nobody can promise you a sky full of wings. What we can promise is a beautiful, quiet walk in a place this town has protected for over a century.

🌲 Come walk it with us. Book your stay at OlympiaLodge.com

September’s been a stunner — but the coast is just getting started. 🍂🦋 October brings the monarchs, crisp golden mornings, and Pacific Grove at its cozy, uncrowded best.

Whether it’s butterflies, whale watching, or long walks by the sea, autumn here is pure magic — and The Olympia Lodge is your home away from home for all of it.

Golden hour in Pacific Grove hits different. 🌅 Stroll to Lovers Point for that classic coastline view, wander out to the historic Point Pinos Lighthouse (the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the West Coast!), or simply follow the recreation trail as the sky turns pink over the bay.

These are the quiet, unforgettable moments — and they’re all steps from The Olympia Lodge. 🚶
