Morro Rock can be seen from just about anywhere in the Morro Bay area. It is kind of impressive, but mostly because, unlike its sisters inland, it is all by itself out on the water.

Morro Bay is a more pleasant-than-average tourist down. Perhaps I felt this way because it was mostly cold and rainy and there were no tourists. Every time I stepped outside I could hear the cry of sea gulls and the bark bark barking of sea lions.
