Niagara River, Buffalo in the year 1960. There are a few benches in the park

Heron in Coleman Park |
The Coleman Park
is located on the causeway that connects the Morro Rock with the mainland. As
it is along the Morro Bay, one can see people fishing, kayakers dragging their
kayaks to the shore and the sea animals and birds. We carefully observed a
couple of herons sticking their necks out and stealthily walking in the water
to catch their prey.

Tidelands Park |
This
is a small, well-maintained park just by the Bay and it offers amazing view of
the Morro Bay, Morro Rock and the sand spit. The park features a playground for
kids and a couple of benches for those who simply want to take it easy by the
waters. We spent a few minutes in the park, walked on the boat dock, took the
stairs across the street to go to Olive and Morro intersection to capture a stunning
view of the sun set just beside the Morro Rock.
