Climate

Grover Beach residents and visitors enjoy a mild, mediterranean climate with cool summers and an average rainfall of 20 inches. Year-round recreational opportunities are offered in and around Grover Beach such as hiking on the dunes, fishing, clamming, golfing, horseback riding, wine tasting, and off-road vehicle riding.

The beach entrance to the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area is located just off Highway 1 at the end of West Grand Avenue in Grover Beach (just one block from the Amtrak Station). Enjoy the beautiful Pacific Ocean coastline with a drive along white sand dunes, or take a walk on the Beach Boardwalk that meanders through the dunes and Monarch Butterfly Preserve between Grover Beach and Pismo Beach. Or enjoy the nine-hole golf course, open seven days week from sunrise to sunset, also located at the beach entrance at the end of West Grand Avenue.

Grover Beach activities and festivals attract the entire family, and community parks are also available for picnics and barbeques:

• Spring Garden Tours - Tour beautifully manicured private gardens and participate in the plant exchange. Demonstrating artists and Master Gardeners are scheduled to be on site at various gardens. Admission is free.

• The City hosts a Free Summer Concert Series at the Ramona Garden Park each year from June - September.

• The City of Grover Beach and Grover Beach Chamber of Commerce host the Stone Soup Ethnic Music Faire each summer at the Ramona Garden Park.

  This event features a 5K / 10K Dune Run Run, and food and craft booths with homemade items and ethnic foods fill Ramona Garden Park and spill out onto the street, along with the sounds of Latin, African, Australian, Scottish, jazz and country-western music. Dancing in the streets is encouraged!

• Take a look at the Event Calendar for current information.

Summer is upon us once again. Please identify lots with overgrowth and take action to ensure they are cleared/mowed. Unkept lots are detriments to our community, from both an aesthetic and fire-prevention sense.
