MORE MONTEREY PENINSULA BENEFITS FROM A SUSTAINABLE GREEN RESORT: COMMUNITY ACCESS TO THE BEACH AND TRAILS - The Monterey Bay Shores Resort will provide for the first time public parking and access to a newly created system of trails connecting the dune system and beach, and to the regional bike and recreation trails.

KEY ELEMENTS OF THE RESORT: #HABITAT AND #DUNE #RESTORATION Monterey Bay Shores Resort is designed to exceed LEED Platinum rating. It has incorporated extensive Habitat and Dune Restoration through a combination of restoring the Flandrian dune formation and extensive re-vegetation of the site with native dune plants which will provide habitat for native flora and fauna, including the Smith Blue Butterfly and the Snowy Plover. Expansive Living Roofs on buildings will contribute to the total restored habitat while increasing the amount of pervious coverage on the site.

THE BEAUTY OF THE MONTEREY BAY SHORES: Every time we walk the site we are amazed at the beauty of the place, its panoramic views, and how mother nature invited us to design an ecological resort that merges nature and architecture into a unique environment that will provide a healthy and inspiring haven to relax, reflect and restore human well-beings and habitat. Yesterday we caught few Whales feasting in the bay and a Handglider hovering over the blufftop.
