Cayucos & Pismo Beach, CA

Pismo Beach

From Big Sur, we head down the coast past San Simeon and Cambria to Cayucos, another place you usually only see as you passed through on Hwy 1.

You can see Morro Rock in the distance if you look closely.

Cayucos is just a little way north of Morro Bay. We stay at a little mobile home village called Bella Vista. Bella Vista sits on the edge of town on a hill. It has a nice view and is close enough for us to walk into town.

Cayucos is a quaint, little town, but is only a short stopover on our way south. Next stop is Pismo Beach, just south of San Luis Obispo.  

Activities at Pismo include a walk on the beach and drinks and nachos at Wooly's next to the pier. FYI, the nachos were huge and yummy!

Another day was spent back tracking up the highway to Moonstone Beach in Cambria

and the elephant seal view point near San Simeon.

My one sad regret was not stopping to take pictures of the zebras next to the highway at Hearst Castle :(. By the time we passed on the way back, they were too far away.

She was chasing sea gulls and was fun to watch.
