Pismo Beach Monarch Butterfly Grove

Numbers have been dwindling but, for now, thousands of black-and-orange monarch butterflies still make their winter home in this eucalyptus grove just south of the North Beach Campground. Look closely: the dense clusters in the treetops might easily be mistaken for leaves. To learn more, study the information boards or join a free docent tour daily at 11am and 2pm.
