Can't wait for the 2026 L.A. Grunion Runs at Cabrillo Beach! This incredible natural spectacle features thousands of silvery grunion surfacing on the sand under the moonlight from July 14 to August 30. It's a unique opportunity to witness these fish spawning right on the beach. Observing the grunion is free and doesn't require a fishing license, making it accessible for everyone. If you're planning to catch some, remember that ages 16 and up need a valid California sport fishing license and Ocean Enhancement Validation. Just a heads up, the runs can be unpredictable, so it's best to check with local lifeguards about recent activity. Bring a dim light, a warm layer, and your patience for this unforgettable experience!
