Review:
From late October all throughout February, the Pismo State Beach’s Monarch Butterfly Grove comes alive with the gorgeous orange and black wings of Monarch Butterflies.
- Every year, thousands of beautiful Monarch Butterflies gather at Pismo Beach and cluster together amongst the Eucalyptus trees at the grove.
- As these lovely creatures seek shelter from the northern winters, they grace the grove with their vibrant orange and black colors and draw visitors from near and far to take their beauty in.
- Although there are other locations that Monarch Butterflies migrate to, what makes the Monarch Butterfly Grove is Pismo different is that is boasts one of the largest colonies in the nation.
- In fact, the grove sees an average of 25,000 butterflies every year.
