2. Butterfly Trees
There is a Monarch Butterfly Reserve in Pacific Grove. They come here every year and you can see hundreds hanging onto each other from the trees. It is a nice secluded area next to the grounds of a hotel and behind a residential area.
3. Ocean View Drive
This is a scenic drive along the Pacific Ocean in Pacific Grove. It has the beautiful rocks with the ocean crashing against them . Spring has the ice plant in bloom and a lovely purple carpet is along this area as well. In some areas you will see sea lions sun bathing or even floating in the water.
Beautiful scenery overlooking the ocean. I have seen more then one wedding party at this spot. You can sit on benches and watch the ocean waves crashing or sit n the grass for a lovely picnic. Every year in the summer around the end of July there is the Feast of Lanterns held here. A kiddy carnival and food to buy during the day and fireworks over the bay at night.
5. Country Attic
A quaint little store in downtown Pacific Grove. It has so many cool things,decorstive items,wall hangings,pictures,candles TY Beanie Babies,lots of cool stuff. It is one of those walk slowly through and really look to see it all types of stores. A must stop in place if you ask me.
Breakfast to die for. Huge portions ,enough to share with the spouse or kids. The potato/cheese dish is sooooo yummy and lots of taters.
