Also known as Butterfly Town, USA, because of the migrating Monarch butterflies that overwinter here, there’s a small-town vibe that is friendly and welcoming.

This is a city filled with old-fashioned charm, too. There are more Victorian houses, per capita, than anywhere else in America; take a walking tour and see them all. Pt. Pinos Lighthouse, the oldest continuously-operating lighthouse on the West Coast, has been guiding visitors for more than 150 years. A walk along the recreation trail takes you past Lover’s Point, home to the annual Feast of Lanterns celebration that began 100 years ago.

Pacific Grove is also a gathering place for artists – John Steinbeck lived here; Robert Louis Stevenson stayed for awhile; en plein air artists, poets, ceramists, woodworkers, sculptors all create in this amiable, inviting town.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1457114283618{margin-top: 25px !important;margin-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″][thb_image alignment=”center” image=”1321″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][thb_image alignment=”center” image=”1451″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][thb_image alignment=”center” image=”1463″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=”nearby”]nearby communities[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1461089229580{margin-top: 5px !important;margin-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″][thb_image alignment=”center” image=”986″ img_link=”url:%2Fcarmel-by-the-sea%2F||”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][thb_image alignment=”center” image=”996″ img_link=”url:%2Fmonterey%2F||”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][thb_image alignment=”center” image=”1709″ img_link=”url:%2Fbig-sur%2F||”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
