Morro Bay, Los Osos and Avila are all very nice spots, and in normal rainfall years may
not seem so dry.
I have stayed a couple of times at the park at the south end of Morro Bay, and really enjoyed walking around town. Pleasant friendly relaxed beach town folks.

Scottmandue, if the yellow/ tan hills get to your Honey, You may as well focus north of S F.

it is funny what effect the look of the countryside can have on your outlook.
This has been a wet monsoon season here in Az. and for me seeing the soft blush of green really makes the place much nicer for me, to be in.
