About Santa Cruz Monarch Butterfly Grove in Santa Cruz, California
The Santa Cruz Monarch Butterfly Grove is located on the western edge of town in the park at Natural Bridges State Beach. The visitor center at the park has information on the butterflies and their amazing migration. You’ll see more of them in November, but they stay here from mid-October through mid-February. A walking path called the Monarch Butterfly Trail meanders through the grove of trees where they literally hang out. You can park for free outside the state park by finding a spot on West Cliff Drive, Swanton Blvd, or Delaware Avenue. There is a convenient entrance at the corner of Delaware and Natural Bridges Drive. If you enter there the grove is on your left.
