Crazy About the Monarchs? Read on!

The Monarch Butterfly Grove of Pismo Beach

No, we don't mean royalty, ... but these beautiful creatures are no less "regal," and are another reason to visit Pismo Beach. The beautiful orange and black "fairy-like" Monarch Butterflies cluster by the thousands in the Eucalyptus trees of the Monarch Butterfly Grove, giving the appearance of golden leaves. Now, the Grove is offering daily "Talks" about the monarchs!

Our Monarch Butterfly Grove is located on Highway 1 just south of the North Pismo State Beach Campground and is the most visited Monarch Grove in the world. The grove is staffed daily by our knowledgeable docents from 10am-4pm, with talks given at 11am and 2pm. Free admission and parking is provided.

Come to the grove to observe this great Central Coast wonder! Visit the grove today!

Mission San Luis Obispo - A Must-See for Every Traveler

Are you on a mission? Or do you simply wish to view some of the California missions?

Whatever the case may be, Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa is a "must-see." Located in Downtown San Luis Obispo on Monterey Street, the Mission San Luis Obispo was originally founded on Sept. 1, 1772. The church is unusual in its design in that its combination of belfry and vestibule isn't found anywhere else among the 21 California missions.



Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa



Check out its living history by visiting their museum. Learn more about the Chumash Indians and the Spanish missionaries. The colorful Spanish history of the California missions is such a defining part of California missions that it's hard to miss.

And while you're visiting the Central Coast, be sure to stay at Pismo Beach's premier accommodations- Valentina Inn  & Villas. Each of our villas are dedicated to a mover 'n shaker of Pismo's past, complete with historic photos.
