All About Morro Bay
Centrally located between Los Angeles and San Francisco, Morro Bay is a small coastal city in California known for its unique natural beauty.

In addition to the magnificent views and year-round activities, the local dining options give visitors yet another reason to experience the city of Morro Bay.

Falcons are commonly seen up above, while otters can be seen in the water surrounding the rock.

In addition to the shopping and dining, there are kayak, boating, and scuba diving experiences at the Embarcadero.

Numerous picnic tables are located throughout the park, giving visitors a place to sit and enjoy the serene atmosphere.
