Explore the Scenery of Pismo Beach and the Monarch Butterfly Grove

Each year the Monarchs flock to Pismo Beach, creating breathtaking cascades of color as they seek shelter from the northern winters. You’ll be mesmerized by images of the vibrant orange and black colors gathered amidst the treetops. You’ll also visit the beautiful historic 1786 Santa Barbara Mission, stroll the charming streets of Ojai, explore the La Purisima Mission near Lompoc (the only example in California of a complete mission complex!), learn about natural luffas (loofahs) grown in the region, and more. Beautiful nature, amazing history, and a charming setting make this an experience not to be missed!
