Street Murals in Morro Bay

When I came back to Morro Bay to pick up my van I realized what great street murals there are in town. Murals are a fantastic way to make art in the public domain. Everyone gets to enjoy it; they tell a little story of the place and its culture; and they're infinitely more interesting than drywall finish.

These three murals are all on Main Street of Morro Bay, on the Taco de Mexico building, and just south of it.


The Morro Bay estuary under moonlight. It captures all the romance of the place.


The Harbor Entrance with a Coast Guard boat mid rescue. The Morro Bay entrance is in the top 10 most dangerous in the nation due to the swell conditions.


Fishing boats in the harbor. The bay had a thriving fishing fleet until recently when regulations have turned it into a costly industry.
