Lovers Point Inn, Pacific Grove 1970s

Since the late 1800s, Lovers Point Park and Beach in Pacific Grove, California, has afforded spectacular views of Monterey Bay. Due to the unique east-facing location, it’s one of the few spots on the West Coast where you can watch the sunrise over the water. The Lovers Point Inn sat practically on the edge of this beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean. Located at the foot of 17th Avenue, it was a drive-in and a restaurant. We’ve found adverts from as early as 1936 in the now defunct Pacific Grove Tribune newspaper advertising its steaks and seafood. One advert boasts:’ If our steaks are tough, we don’t give you another knife, we give you another steak.’ Another advert boasted that it was in the ‘golf capital of the world’ and that more golf shots were hit perfectly after breakfast at Lovers Point Inn than anywhere else in the world. The icon of the inn was this delightful pelican sitting on a mooring post. The community of Pacific Grove on the Monterey Pacific coast was established in 1875 as a Methodist Christian summer camp, known for its religious retreat origins. It developed into a Victoria-era municipality, but some of the religious restrictions remained for years. Pacific Grove was the last dry town in California until 1969, when public alcohol service was finally permitted. Nestled on the coastline of the quaint town of Pacific Grove between Monterey and Pebble Beach, a new comfortable four story oceanfront Lovers Point Inn is located steps from the enchanting Lovers Point Beach and a short walk from the world famous Monterey Bay Aquarium in historical Cannery Row.
