2024-01 Morro Bay and surroundings

On the way to Morro Bay, we stopped for a night in Santa Barbara and Solvang. Morro Bay is a beautiful place with great restaurants, breathtaking views of the ocean, Morro Bay Rock and fun to watch wild life of the bay. While staying at Morro Bay, we enjoyed visiting local attractions. Quite overrated Botanical Garden, which is in its early stage of development. Will be fun to visit it in 50 years. Avila Beach is a small but beautiful place. Typical tourists' trap. Nothing much to do but to spend your money on dining and souvenirs. Absolutely two thumbs up Hurst Castle! It is impossible to see everything their in one visit. I look forward to visiting it again. And the last pearl of your trip - Monarch Butterfly Grove next to Pismo Beach! It was a right decision to bring with me the biggest lens I have!
