Pacific Grove

Like a well-crafted novel that reveals its narrative in oh-so delicious morsels, Pacific Grove is one of California’s true coastal treasures. A laid back vibe permeates this small slice of nirvana. If you’re fortunate enough to be here during the fall or winter, you will be witness to one of nature’s most incredible spectacles: the annual migration of the Monarch butterflies. Tens of thousands of Monarchs descend on Pacific Grove in October, and take up residence in the pines and Eucalyptus trees of the Monarch Grove Butterfly Sanctuary.
