Morro Bay is becoming a prime destination for whale watching this fall. The town may be lesser-known compared to coastal metros like Santa Barbara and Monterey, but it offers an excellent opportunity to witness whales, including giant gray whales, playful humpbacks, and even elusive orcas.
DJ Hardy, a boat captain, mentions that Morro Bay is often overlooked because of its smaller size and somewhat remote location, but once you're on the water, it gets bustling.
