Overlooking the Pacific Ocean on Highway 1, just west of 101, is the seaside community of Morro Bay. With its rich and varied array of State Parks and Reserves, Nature Preserves, agriculture lands and open space, the Morro Bay estuary, seashore and coastal lands are a nature enthusiast's paradise. It's also one of the best-kept secrets among the CA Coast Communities. Count on an unhurried pace, less crowded places to visit, and undiscovered treasures.

Morro Rock raises 576 feet into the air at the entrance of the harbor and is home to the Peregrine Falcon. Grab a bag of homemade salt water taffy and find a spot to watch the fishing boats unload the catch of the day. Have your camera ready for those special shots of the brown pelicans, harbor seals and cute little otters where the harbor is their playground. Walk or drive out to the rock and see why Morro Bay is considered a surfers paradise.
Morro
Bay means a Fresh Fish dinner on the bay, visiting several Art Galleries,
Golfing, Bird Watching, Surfing. Boating, Kayaking, Hiking or just plain
relaxing.
Places to see when you visit include Montaña de Oro State Park, Sweet Springs Nature Preserve, the Elfin Forest, the pier and village shops at Baywood Park, and Los Osos Oaks State Reserve.
Morro Bay Harbor is home to one of California's largest and most
productive commercial fishing fleets and provides area restaurants and fish
markets with the freshest of seafood.
Morro Bay is also a bird sanctuary providing
a nourishing habitat to more than two dozen threatened and endangered species.
The last estuary of its kind between Mexico and Northern California, Morro Bay
is a major stop of the Pacific flyway. More than 70 migratory bird species make
their winter home here.
Morro Bay's Public Golf Course is our best kept secret! The beautiful 18 hole course overlooks the ocean nestled near the Great Blue Heron Rookery and Natural History Museum.
