The Cabrillo Marine Aquarium invites you to experience the fascinating natural phenomenon of the grunion run as these unique fish come ashore to spawn! This interactive program includes:
- An auditorium video exploring the biology and behavior of grunion
- Aquarium exploration before heading to the beach
- A guided observation of the grunion spawning under the moonlight
Cabrillo Beach closes at midnight, so warm clothing and a flashlight are recommended.
- April, May, and June: Closed season (grunion may be observed but not touched).
- March and July: Open season (grunion may be taken by hand only).
- A valid California fishing license is required for participants 16 years or older who wish to catch grunion during the open season.
