A Destination to Remember

Morro Bay, California is a place to discover your better nature. Located on the central coast midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, this historic fishing village has much to offer its visitors and residents. The most distinctive recognizable landmark associated with Morro Bay is the famous Morro Rock.

However, there is so much more to see and explore in and around Morro Bay. For nature lovers and bird watchers, Morro Bay Estuary provides a nourishing habitat to more than 250 species of birds and over two dozen endangered and threatened species.

The Morro Bay Natural History Museum, located in the Morro Bay State Park includes engaging exhibits, informative lectures, nature walks, and also features a discovery area for children offering hands on exploration.

There is never a shortage of things to do in Morro Bay. You can peruse boutiques and shops, or play golf on a world champion course. Discover a coastline of clean dunes, paddle down a silent estuary and spy on beautiful and rare birds, or sail in the wild Pacific just beyond the breakwater.

Morro Bay is also a wonderful starting point for visiting several attractions in San Luis Obispo County. Montaña de Oro (Mountain of Gold) State Park is just southwest of Morro Bay. The famous Hearst Castle is just a short drive north of Morro Bay, past the charming villages of Harmony and Cambria. To the east, you will find local wineries offering tastings of the famous Central Coast varietals.
