Asilomar State Beach is a narrow, 1-mile (1.6 km) strip of sandy beach and rocky coves.
 A 1-mile (1.6 km) trail, which runs through the dunes, is open to pedestrians.
This trail is wheelchair-accessible, and a beach wheelchair is available at the Conference Grounds front desk, located inside the Phoebe Apperson Hearst Social Hall.
 Bicycling is allowed on the paved bike lane along the road, running parallel to the Coast Trail.
 The ocean off shore is protected as the Asilomar State Marine Reserve, part of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.
 The rocky coves are home to thousands of species, some of which are unique to the bay.
As a sanctuary, it is illegal to disturb biota, i.e., collection and removal of shells and/or live specimens.
