On Hwy. 1, at south end of city, (800) 443-7778. November-February; Docent Trailer open daily 10am-4pm; talks daily at 11am & 2pm. Free. Free parking on either side of Hwy 1.
The monarch colony at Monarch Butterfly Grove is one of the largest in the nation. An unusual variety, their relatively long 6-month life span is attributed to a unique fat-storing system (the more common variety of monarch lives only 6 weeks). On sunny days you’ll see them fluttering about, but on overcast days they huddle together in cozy clusters in a grove of eucalyptus and pine trees. The beach is a short walk away.
