i just got back from pismo and morro bay over the weekend.
I think your best bet for capturing pics of of wildlife around here will be in the following places in the order from where you'll be starting up to morro bay.
-Bolsa Chica ecological preserve, decent size and not too many people.
-Seal Beach national wildlife refuge, large, parking is not the best over weekends but nice.
-Jalama Beach county park, there's a stream that exits to the ocean next to the park.
-Morro Bay, as you're probably aware has their own estuary. Very peaceful place.
Hope that helps.
