WHAT'S THE WEATHER LIKE AT ASILOMAR IN OCTOBER:

The average temperature in October is 50°-69°F. It can be foggy and cool in the morning and evening. Average ocean temp is 61° (in case you're thinking about taking a dip!). The "rainy season" generally doesn't start until November.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR? WHAT TYPE OF CLOTHING SHOULD I BRING:

Casual! Layers! If you plan to be outside in the morning or evening (take a walk on the beach, for example), you'll want to bring a jacket or warm sweater. Be prepared for temperature fluctuations. Bring a bathing suit if you want to use Asilomar's outdoor heated pool. Walking shoes if you want to explore some of Asilomar's gorgeous 107 acres. A flashlight can be helpful if you think you'll be walking around at night.

THINGS TO BRING:

There are no telephones in the rooms so bring your alarm clock if you need one. A water bottle to refill each day - a good idea.

EXTEND YOUR VISIT:

The Monterey Peninsula has many attractions to enjoy. Some of the highlights are the world-renown Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row, the scenic 17-Mile Drive along Pebble Beach, the town of Carmel-by-the Sea, Point Lobos, and the very scenic Big Sur along the Pacific Coast.
