Discover the Heart of Coastal Connect: Our Groups

At Coastal Connect, our mission is simple—create spaces where women on the Monterey Peninsula can come together, share experiences, and build genuine connections. What makes us unique is the variety of small groups designed to fit different interests and lifestyles. Whether you’re looking for inspiration, wellness, or simply a good cup of coffee, there’s a place for you here.

Coast & Roast

Hosted by Elise, our founder, Coast & Roast is all about community over coffee. These casual meetups are the perfect way to connect with local women, spark conversation, and start your day with warmth and laughter.

Once Upon a Tide

Established by Allie, this is our Coastal Connect book club. Allie’s passion for literature and storytelling shines here, and she’s even publishing her own book. Join the group if you are looking for your next good read!

Classy Ladies

Athena and Megan established Classy Ladies to make movement fun, social, and motivating. Together, the group explores fitness classes and wellness activities while cheering each other on to stay active and healthy.

Mini Me’s

Led by Hanna, a Monterey local, Mini Me’s is our mom group. With her kind spirit, Hanna creates a supportive space for moms to connect, share, and lift each other up—while enjoying time with their little ones.
