Come to the Monarch Butterfly preservation park and you will experience the delicious smell of eucalyptus wafting through the air.  You will also hear the waves of the sea  because the beach is just a short walk from this protected habitat of the beloved and endangered Monarch Butterfly.   Here are some pictures of the park and the beautiful trails that cross this well preserved area.

You can bring a picnic basket as there are benches available.  I always opt for having our picnics at the nearby beach.  I love the vast rolling dunes and the perfect sand pipers.  The dunes are their nesting ground, so I always try to have minimal foot traffic there.  Bring a kite because the wind here is great for them.   

Please note Docents of the park ask that you never disturb or touch the butterflies in any way.  Also stay on the provided paths at all times.  And always leave with what you came with, in other words bring an extra plastic bag for trash.
