That’s the nickname for Morro Bay, referring to the gigantic rock that sits in the bay and three smokestacks from a defunct power plant, both of which can be seen from almost anywhere in town.
Morro Bay is a small fishing town (population 10,234) on California’s Central Coast. It’s about 120 miles north of Santa Barbara. a two-hour drive for most people. Annie and I made in four. I added it to my itinerary to fill in a few days between Santa Barbara and Carmel, as I made my way up the Coast. I had lunch here about twenty years ago and thought, why not stop at that place with the big rock!
