Grunion runs make for a very unique sight along Southern California beaches as millions of these little fish leave them water to spawn before returning. Tonight will be a great night to watch this phenomenon between 11:00pm and 1:00am. This video was taken last night at Doheny Beach. If you go, please just watch and enjoy this very cool sight without disrupting them | Orange County Outdoors
