Get Out of Your Comfort Zone
Sometimes the most unforgettable experiences are those that encourage us to try something new and unexpected. Fortunately, Terranea offers plenty of exciting adventures. You can engage with the falconer as one of his amazing birds of prey soars over the resort—part of the natural abatement program. If you’re lucky enough to be here during whale watching season, (November through May) you may see one of approximately 20,000 grey whales making the annual 10,000-mile round-trip journey from the Bering Sea in Alaska to the warm waters and breeding lagoons of the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico. Grab Terranea’s kayaking guides and get up close and personal with these giants of the ocean.

Become a Sea Salt Connoisseur
The sea salt used in your Terranea cuisine is sourced directly from the Pacific Ocean by Executive Chef Bernard Ibarra and the culinary team, right at the resort’s beach cove. During the resort’s monthly Sea Harvest Workshops, guests can partake in an intimate sea salt and kelp tasting paired with farm-fresh produce, signature crafted bites and sparkling ONEHOPE Wine, as they learn about the resort’s harvesting process.. Inspiring stories and tasty results promised.
Enjoy a Moonlight Meditation
The ocean view bluffs overlooking the sea make the perfect spot to exhale while enjoying your yoga practice. During the summer months, the resort also welcomes guests and locals to Full Moon Yoga, an outdoor gathering on the Ocean Lawn celebrating mind, body and connection under a glowing night sky. This event is ideal for all levels of experience and gives back to local charities.
Take a Coastal Drive
While we know there are plenty of reasons never to leave the resort, we also encourage you to explore the gorgeous Pacific coastline we call home. With the Drive Series, guests staying in one of the luxurious Shearwater Suites may enjoy a complimentary Lexus luxury vehicle during their visit. The car comes equipped with a GPS guided tour highlighting scenic points of interest, including the Point Vicente Interpretive Center and Portuguese Bend for hiking and wildlife spotting. Enjoy a picnic lunch and watch dolphins, sea lions and maybe even a migrating whale with provided binoculars.
Pay It Forward
As stewards of this stretch of pristine coastline, Terranea takes its role in preserving the area’s beauty and health seriously. For this reason, many of the resort’s associates take part in various environmental endeavors throughout the year. You, too, can take part in these unique activities, including sea lion and pelican releases and kelp forest clean-ups.
