Monarch Butterfly Grove

Reviewed By TheadoraP

Nature at it's finest. The best time to go is when the weather is a little warm. You will see clusters of beautiful butterflies in the eucalyptus grove by the beach. Keep an eye out for the owl! There are knowledgable docents and telescopes set up for you to see the monarchs up close.

Shell Beach is a wonderful throw back in time Cali beach village. This park has wonderful sunsets and is never overcrowded. If you have time go down to the rocky beach at low tide and explore the tidal areas.
