The city of Morro Bay in San Luis Obispo County will look more like Salem, Massachusetts, when dozens of witches and warlocks descend upon the town in October.
The Morro Bay Witches Paddle is an annual Halloween festivity that invites visitors to the seaside enclave to paddle out onto the foggy waters of Morro Bay where whales, otters and sea lions are known to frequent.
Witches will trade in their broomsticks for kayaks and stand-up paddleboards when the paddle out takes place on Oct. 26.
Organizers say the event will “transform the tranquil waters into a cauldron of excitement, their cackling laughter echoing off the iconic rock that stands sentinel over the bay.”

But, fear not, these aren’t wicked witches. The annual event actually raises money for the Food Bank Coalition of San Luis Obispo County.
The seance begins at 2 p.m. at Coleman Park and is open to the public.
