Every year, monarchs west of the Rocky Mountain Range travel to small groves of trees along the California coast to overwinter. The butterflies start to arrive in late October and remain in the area until late February. Pismo State Beach hosts one of the largest overwintering congregations in the country. According to www.monarchbutterfly.org, a website funded by the Pismo Beach Conference & Visitors Bureau, more than 25,000 monarchs make the journey to Pismo State Beach every year. Some of the butterflies travel as many as 1,000 miles to get here. While in the area, the butterflies form dense clusters in the eucalyptus trees at the south end of the North Beach Campground. Clustering shelters the monarchs from the rain and wind. If you look closely at one of the many clusters, you’ll see each one of the butterflies hanging with its wing down over the one below it to form a shingle effect. This also generates heat for the cluster and keeps the cluster warm during the brisk winter months. The grove is staffed daily from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with docent talks at 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. to accommodate the visitors who come from all over the Central Coast to see the butterflies. If you’re planning a visit to the grove, try to come on a fairly sunny day. If the weather is warm, some of the monarchs will break away from their clusters.

From late October to February, the butterflies cluster in the limbs of towering, majestic Eucalyptus trees flanking a riparian estuary that flows to the Pacific Ocean.

November-ish thru February-ish the Monarch butterflies hang out here by the thousands. In the non-butterfly season, it's a pretty walk.

Come see the Monarch Butterfly Grove in Pismo Beach. Migrating butterflies come to the Pismo State Beach Monarch Grove from October through March. There is a trail you can take from the Grover Beach entrance or you can enter it thru the State Park or also park right on the street. It is free of charge and there are presentations throughout the day.
