Morro Bay

Just before you reach Pismo Beach, you cross Morro bay. What appears to be a quiet little fishing town.

There is a huge rock that stands out, called the Morro Rock. There is an esturary and the calm sea water that stands between the sand bars and the highway are a treat to watch..


Here is the Morro rock from the viewpoint..


The smokestacks added another dimension to the backdrop..


There was also this weird looking plant on this corner house facing the bay which was worth capturing..


There is an anchor on display at the bay which weighs a few thousand tonnes. It was a gift to the city of Morro Bay.


We were there Christmas morning, so the town was pretty much shut down. We still managed to have fun with the kids. Stopped by a few vista points further down as well.

Another day, another time, we will visit Morro Bay and make a longer stay.

ps. This was part of a series of photoblogs on our Christmas long weekend trip to Solvang and other sites on Route 1 in California.

Sundar-

We spent a few hours in Morro Bay, loved to watch the Morro rock and enjoyed the beach too.
