The Sandspit at Montana de Oro is such a wonderful place to explore. The scenery is constantly changing. The following are a few pictures to show you some of the views we see out there. Go take a walk and explore. It is so close to town, yet seems so far removed once you are out there. Definitely worth it.
The first two are of sunrise in late September of 2009.

Here's a nice view of the rock from the largest of the corridors provoding access from the bay to the beach. These corridors are extremely important as they allow access across the spit without disturbing too much of the dune system, or during plover nesting season the snowy plovers.

Here is a nice view of the morros looking back towards San Luis Obispo. These peaks line the way from San Luis Obispo out to Morro Bay. That's Black Hill in the foreground with Cerro Cabrillo and Hollister beyond.

This is just a nice shot of the windswept dunes. They remind me of my days in the mountains during the winter time playing in snowdrifts.
