Being from Iowa I think the weather in Morro Bay is wonderful year round. It's a great central location to go on day trips up the coast line. The Elephant seals, are amazing, there is a cool town Harmony with a population of 18, are artist town. The town of Morro Bay is wonderful as well. Great restaurant, an aquarium for the kids, lots of great shop. We love it there. We rented an airbnb and it was the best.
