Set amidst a unique landscape of volcanic peaks are 24 small towns. There's Morro Bay on the coast, home to the romantic silhouette of Morro Rock. Pismo Beach, known for is almost-endless white sand beach, attracts visitors from far and near. Paso Robles, located in the middle of a growing wine country, has a western flavor all its own.
