November in Pacific Grove, CA, offers a unique kind of magic—and it’s the perfect time to return to your Sanctuary-by-the-Bay. The highlight right now is the incredible Monarch Butterfly migration! Witnessing thousands of these beautiful creatures gather in the local groves is truly a bucket-list experience.
The monarch butterfly migration to Pacific Grove, CA, typically occurs from mid-October through February. They arrive in the fall and stay through the winter, with peak numbers often seen around Thanksgiving. The best time to visit for the largest clusters is generally in the late fall or early winter.
