Pismo Beach

Nowadays butterflies outrank clams as a local attraction. From late November through February thousands of migrating monarchs alight on Pismo Beach's Butterfly Trees, a grove of Monterey pines and eucalyptus. Some come from as far away as Canada to pass the winter in this mild climate.

If you plan to make a trip to nearby Avila Beach, consider taking the trolley that runs between these two towns. The free service is offered by the Regional Transit Authority late March to early October; phone (805) 541-2228 for details.
