Self-Realization Fellowship Retreat

Fodor's Review:

Founded in 1936 as a retreat and place of worship, the Self-Realization Fellowship Retreat also offers one of the best views along the Pacific coast, a sweeping seascape extending north and south as far as the eye can see. Paramahansa Yogananda, author of the classic Autobiography of a Yogi, created two beautiful meditation gardens that are open to the public. The gardens are planted with flowering shrubs and trees and contain a series of ponds connected by miniature waterfalls populated by tropical fish. Swami's Point at the south end of the gardens is a popular surfer's break.

  • Cost: Free
