Pacific Grove, California, is nicknamed “Butterfly Town” for all the stunning butterflies that flock to the coastal city every October. They gather at Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary, a nature preserve thick with pine, cypress, and eucalyptus trees. Besides monarch butterflies, this city is also known as one of California’s best places to live. It brims with century-old houses, scenic beaches, rustic restaurants, and more. If you’re here for the salty ocean breeze, check out Asilomar State Beach and Lovers Point Park Beach. You can also take an afternoon walk in pet-friendly parks, such as Berwick Park and George Washington Park. Looking for a place to stay with your fur baby?
