Instead of going to a cafe over the water for coffee and an omelet like I did last time I was at Morro Bay, I went to the market and got a big cup of coffee, bananas and some fried chicken. I went to the end of the road by Morro Rock, hiked over the breakwater and had breakfast with the sea gulls over looking Morro Bay.

(Wide) Under Morro Rock with a few of my friends. Looking south past the harbor mouth towards Montagne De Oro.
Morro Bay Harbor mouth. That is the calm before the storm.
The tough jagged heart of an ancient volcano.
That is the south side of the front. It is bigger than the picture makes it look. It is a preserve, so covered with sea birds and even Peregrine Falcons.
(Wide) From anywhere around, the cooling stacks are what you can see the easiest.

This is at the base of the pier at Port San Luis about 10 miles south of Morro Bay on the other side of Montagne de Oro. Neat place. Dale and I used to launch his boat out of here so I could dive and he could fish. I did a lot of exploring.
North side of Port San Luis, at the southern end of the Montagne de Oro headlands.
This is Alvila Bay and the town of Alvila. Past that is the start of Pismo Beach. Fun place.
This is a huge area of vital reefs. Thousands of crabpots are set. This area has always been a rich source of sea food.
Even in the bay, there are kelp beds. The vis isn't great, but the classes go there. This is a big oil port. I can't imagine how rich the sea life must have been 100 years ago.
