We were really looking forward to this, but TBH it was a bit disappointing. It’s nothing special, certainly not deserving of its reputation. If we ignore the incessant rain and and the sand flies, our own West Coast is far more beautiful, interesting and accessible, and a lot less crowded. There are a few good bits:-

Yes, they actually put a power station right on the bay – this is Morro Bay.

San Simeon State Beach

There are a lot of squirrels about, obviously expecting to be fed in spite of all the notices saying not to.

Elephant seals…

McWay Falls…

We went on as far as Carmel but didn’t like it much, so didn’t stay, headed for Yosemite instead.
