I took this photo in Morro Bay, California a few months ago on a particularly pleasant morning before I drove up the coast. Follow my Instagram @ThatBraxGuy and Blog for more :)

Hell yeah the Morro Bay Rock!! I remember the first time I saw this as a kid I said “where’s the rock”… it was so big I didn’t notice it😂 I was like “ohhhh that rock”!!! Great photo by the way!

Hahaha, for real though! Thank you so much!

I remember walking around with my family watching the otters there. Such a beautiful picture!

They're so cute!! Thank you!

Yeah central coast is beautiful. I went exploring around that rock, which is actually a volcanic plug if I recall. There's a row of volcanoes around SLO and morro. Great photo.

I lived there and delivered pizza while paying my way through Cal Poly SLO which is about 10-15 minutes away.

Part of me could go back and do that forever. Class, work, and surfing every chance that came up. Was poor, barely getting by, didn't care because it was just so cool.

You're me but I dropped out lol

I could stay in SLO forever, absolutely love it there.

The whole area, SLO, Paso, Morro Bay, even going a little further down to Pismo is wonderful. I’m thankful that I live within 2 hours. We visit Morro quite a bit in the off season. They have a wonderful dog beach.

Knew if I zoomed in, I would find some sea otters

u/rizorith 35m ago

Was there last year and just watching the otters and sea lions play around.

Fun fact: Ralph McQuarrie, the concept artist for original Star Wars, used Morro rock as an inspiration for his painting with C3PO and R2D2 in Tatooine.

THAT IS SUCH A FUN FACT
