It’s a beautiful blog about the awesome destination of California named Morro Rock. I went there ten years back before miami bus tours. Morro Rock is now tied to the mainland by a manmade earthen causeway. And it is as beautiful as it was 10 years ago. There are plenty of restaurants. And several meals to choose from. Also, keep in mind, most of the seafood are local. So they are fresh.
