EcoFarm Conference is held annually at the Asilomar State Beach and Conference Grounds, located at 800 Asilomar Ave, Pacific Grove, CA near beautiful 17-Mile Drive in Monterey County, California.

Asilomar's rich history dates back to its origins as a YWCA Leadership Camp built in 1913. Known as Monterey Peninsula's "Refuge by the Sea," the state park is located on 107 acres of state beach and conference grounds, within the quaint and scenic town of Pacific Grove. Asilomar is celebrated for its restored dune ecosystem and architectural significance, with cozy, historic structures designed by renowned architect Julia Morgan between 1913 and 1928.

General Driving Directions to Asilomar

If you are on the bus tour, please give yourself plenty of time to get to Asilomar so that you can board the bus promptly starting at 7:40 am. It can take nearly 25 minutes to get from the first Monterey exit off Hwy 1 to the front entrance of Asilomar. Be sure to take Exit Hwy-68 West (Exit 399A) toward Pacific Grove. (Note that there is a misleading sign that can take you through downtown Monterey which adds 15 minutes to your trip. Be sure to follow the signs to Pacific Grove.)

Parking at Asilomar

Parking Lots "E" and "F" are located closest to the Asilomar Social Hall where the buses will load/unload for the bus tour. For those of you attending the EcoFarm conference and staying overnight, you may use the lots on the Asilomar property. We ask that if you are only staying for the day that you please try to park along nearby streets.

Handicapped parking is available in all the Asilomar Parking Lots. Please do not park in the marked handicapped parking located outside the Social Hall. This area is for "short term" parking only and the California Park Service WILL ticket cars inappropriately parked.
