  • Morro Bay: A natural escape

    You’ll find plenty to do in Morro Bay. The natural harbor is home to all sorts of water activities, from kayaking and fishing to boating and beaching, and water life including harbor seals, otters and pelicans. The estuary is one of the largest unspoiled coastal marshes in the state, offering habitat for hundreds of species of birds and other wildlife. And the waterfront and surrounding town provide a pleasant setting for strolling, browsing and dining. The city also makes a good base for exploring some of the county’s other attractions.

  • Boat tours, fishing and whale watching

    Fish for albacore, rockfish, lingcod and salmon, take a boat tour of the bay or go on a whale-watching trip.

  • Paddle around

    No experience necessary! Morro Bay’s flat, protected waters make it ideal even for the first-time paddler. Explore the rich tidal estuary and diverse wildlife – from seals, sea lions and otters to herons, egrets, cormorants, pelicans and other birds. Take a guided tour or go it alone.

  • Comb the beaches

    You want beaches? Morro Bay offers six miles of sand stretching all the way to Cayucos, another beach town, and the ocean side of the sandspit that forms the bay.

  • Hit the links or pedal around

    Morro Bay boasts an affordable golf course with stunning ocean vistas. If you'd rather cruise around beach and town, rent a bicycle for a day of relaxing activity.

  • Take a hike

    The Morro Bay area offers a variety of hikes, from easy, ocean-view trails to peak-top treks and family-friendly strolls through nature.

  • For the birds

    Bring your binoculars -- Morro Bay is a haven for bird-lovers. It’s an important stopping point along migration routes, and the diversity of the landscape attracts more than 200 species – making it one of the Audubon Society’s top birding spots nationwide.

  • Play and learn

    Sitting on a bluff in Morro Bay State Park, the Morro Bay Natural History Museum offers panoramic views of the bay and Morro Rock as well as a hands-on opportunity to learn more about the area’s ecology and geology.

  • For the kids

    If nature and the beaches aren’t enough for your activity-craving kids, there’s a small, bayfront skate park at Coleman Park and a BMX bike park nearby.

  • Relax and pamper

    If you’re looking to de-stress, consider some spa rejuvenation.

  • Morro Bay's Annual Events
