    Tips

    Long park behind the campground and the coastal dunes, with pleasant trails under tall eucalyptus trees. The amazing Monarch butterflies migrate here over several hundred miles from the Sierra Nevada, Oregon and Washington State, to overwinter in the mild climate, hibernating several months high up in the eucalyptus trees. Volunteers with telescopes make it possible to find and see them, and provide information. The monarch habitat destruction by agriculture, pesticides, and climate change has caused the famous migrating population to colapse. From previously hundreds of millions to just a few thousand. Extinction is a real risk in the near future.

      A nice shady park right next to the sea, great for jogging or walking.

        The best time to visit is from November to April. We were lucky because professionals set up these mono-oculars to see the clusters of butterflies hiding within the rainbow trees.
