Pacific Grove, California - Scenic Destination

Ranked #6,264 in Travel & Places, #174,011 overall

Pacific Grove is the migratory home of the monarch butterflies and 17-mile Scenic Drive

This quiet community on the north-middle coast of California is sometimes overshadowed by its neighbors - Carmel and Monterey. But Pacific Grove offers a lot to see and do for a more relaxed vacation and break from the hustle and bustle of these other places. According to some sources, Pacific Grove is home to more Victorian homes per person than anywhere else in America--many of these homes have been converted into bed-and-breakfast inns (some of which are pictured in this Squidoo lens). The oldest continuously-operating lighthouse on the West Coast, the Point Pinos Lighthouse, is here in Pacific Grove and provides a great opportunity for painters and photographers to capture its image. And, for the nature lovers, Pacific Grove is a destination hangout for the annual migration of the Monarch butterflies. The trees are literally coated with the colorful insects during certain times of the year.

This Squidoo lens will provide more information on this interesting community.
