1) Morro Bay
Situated along a stretch of the Pacific Coast, Morro Bay is half-way between Los Angeles and San Francisco. The Bay is a charming fishing village with amazing sights, eclectic cafes and specialty shops. A hidden gem, Morro is a great escape from the busier, tourist dominated attractions of coastal California that experiences pleasant weather all year round. One of the most noticeable landmarks of the city is Morro Rock, a volcanic plug that is 581-feet deep. It provides for some great photo opportunities, so amply pack cameras, lenses and plenty of leisure time.
