Adventures await.

Beachside Bliss

There’s just something about California beach culture—the sand, the sea, the surfers, even the salty air, all creating a distinct, laid-back vibe.  Exclusive to only guests and members, the private Monarch Bay Beach Club is the quintessential spot for riding the waves and soaking up the sun.  At the ready is all the equipment you need to surf, boogie board, SUP & more, with expert instruction and chair, umbrella and towel service on the sand. 

Tee Off Near the Tide

Play a round of championship golf while enjoying ocean views at Monarch Beach Golf Links. Engage in some friendly competition on our scenic course and "surf" from hole to hole on a GolfBoard. Named one of Golf Digest’s “Best Places to Play” and a GOLF Magazine “Gold Medal Resort,” this Robert Trent Jones, Jr.-designed course is challenging yet playable for all.

Make a Splash

The epitome of pool cool, three unique swimming experiences await you.  With Pacific views as a backdrop, the Monarch Pool offers infinity-edge spas, chic daybeds, private cabanas and the festive Sombra Cantina.  The adjacent Family Pool is ideal for even the littlest swimmers, complete with a lively "Sprayground".  And if you’re seeking a quiet place to get some laps in, you’ll find that the Spa Pool is the ideal choice.
