I got married in Shamel Park (Cambria). There used to be a little dive of a walkup place on the road that leads to the Oceano Dunes "drive-on beach" entrance that sold burgers made from novelty meats, such as ostrich or buffalo. They also sold deep fried Twinkies, but I never got there! If you are there on Thursday, try to get to downtown San Luis Obispo for theFarmer's Market. It's phenomenal!!! In Morro Bay, go all the way down the Embarcadero to the Marina and look for the Bayside Cafe. Looks unassuming, but the food is startling good! <br /><br />I am only 150 miles away from the beach now, but it might as well be 15,000! <br /><br />Oh, and on the Embarcadero in Morro Bay and also in Pismo there are pretty dang good cinnamon rolls. And on Dolliver in Pismo there used to be a place you could get tequilla lollipops, complete with worm. Hot Lixx I think it is called. <br /><br />Lots to do there, touristy or not!
