Synopsis
Morro Bay, on California's Central Coast, is famous for the massive rock formation that guards the mouth of its natural harbor. A remnant of an ancient volcanic plug, Morro Rock--in Spanish, el Moro, the sentinel--was spotted by explorer Juan Cabrillo as early as 1542. Once sacred to Native Americans, it is now a sanctuary for peregrine falcons and other birds, near secluded dunes, a 2,300-acre national estuary known as the back bay, and eucalyptus groves that are visited each winter by monarch butterflies. With the railroad hundreds of miles away, the small fishing town with sandy streets, surrounded by cattle and dairy ranches, once depended on the sea for transportation. Now a thriving commercial district serves both residents and tourists, and its waterfront is packed with busy seafood restaurants. Kayaks, canoes, and commercial fishing boats mingle in the sparkling waters of the bay., Morro Bay, on California’s Central Coast, is famous for the massive rock formation that guards the mouth of its natural harbor.

    I visited Morro Bay several times in trips to a beach near San Simeon while stationed in Sacramento with the Air Force. I loved the town but knew absolutely nothing about it's history and because of that the book was very interesting. It seems to be very well researched and shares many interesting facts. Unfortunately, due to distance and health issues I haven't been able to go back since my last time in 1988. Having this book takes away some of the sting of that fact.
