Nature Walks

Discover the Dunes

Revel in our unique, natural surroundings with a complimentary discovery walk, which departs at 10 am every Saturday and Sunday from The Lodge. Led by local naturalists from Monterey Peninsula Guides & Hiking, the easy two-mile loop will take guests through the picturesque trails of the Marina Dunes Preserve, which is directly adjacent to the resort. After taking in the beauty of the dunes while learning about the lush plants and protected wildlife, the hour-long walk will culminate on the beach where guests are invited to beach comb and observe the adorable seabirds playing along the wave line.
