Morro Bay from Abalone Shell Beach

Abalone Shell Beach is my name for the beach and not the official name of the beach.  I believe its actually Bluff Park Beach.  I call it Abalone Shell Beach because the beach is made of abalone shells that are probably 10 ft deep or more.  There used to be an abalone cannery that sat at the top of the hill.  What became this beach was the area where they discarded their shells.  As a result they just stacked up and stacked up and stacked up.   Standing on the beach, you can look back at the bluff above you and see several feet of shells above the height of the beach, and looking into the water, the shells stretch as far as you can see into the water.  Its a fantastic place sit.  There are lots of boats tied up there, and I have tried to paint them before.  This is my best effort.  Hope you enjoy.
