Morrow Strand State Beach

We arrived here on August 20 for 4 nights and this park is located right on the sand in Morrow Bay, Ca.  This campground has about 30 full hook up sites which are too close to provide a fire pit, while the rest had fire pits and tables.  We had a waterfront site which was a dry camping site with no hook ups.   We enjoyed our stay here and paid $35 per night which included our $2 nightly senior discount.  I rate this park P****.

The surf was only 1 to 2 feet here, but that did not stop the surfers from braving the 63 degree water, which they said was warmer than usual.  They have closed the beach to swimmers and surfing for the last few weeks because of Great White Shark sightings.  I snapped this picture with thousands of birds flying in a swarm feeding on a large school of fish.  If you have ever seen a swarm of bees; that is what this looked like, only birds.  It looked like an elliptical cloud hovering 2 to 10 feet above the water a foot ball field long.  The water was boiling with fish and birds.  We took several walks along the bluff overlooking the Pacific ocean and Aggie collected some silver dollar shells on the beach to bring home to Lindsey.  This is located in a multi-million dollar residential neighborhood.  One 10,000 sq foot water view lot is currently for sale for $2 million.  We restocked the fridge and poked through the local gift shops where Aggie found a shop which made her

two necklaces.  I washed the dirty Tahoe one day; and I assisted the local barber put a down payment on his house with my $30 haircut.
