Monarch Butterflies! Starting in early October, the black and orange beauties start trickling in from colder climates to enjoy our moderate coastal weather. Check the weather before going. The minimum temperature a monarch needs to fly is 55 degrees. Temperatures below 55, mean you are more likely to see monarch clusters hanging like leaves off the eucalyptus trees, which can also be quite mesmerizing.
