Great fish tacos right off the boat. (Seriously - the owner has a fishing boat, and all his buddies sell to him also.) The salmon tacos are wild, atmosphere is casual, food is healthful and great.

Great smoked fish tacos from a fish shack just south of the pier. Outside seating, about as casual an atmosphere as you can get.

With a pop. of 18, you will miss this wonderful place if you blink on Hwy 1. The Harmony Cafe gets fabulous reviews, and the glassworks and pottery stores from local artisans are just as wonderful.

Entertainment & Activities
The small nature center is packed full of hands-on exhibits explaining facts about why the Morro Bay estuary is so special. Interesting, fun, educational.

Sightseeing
There's no "active" category to fit this gem into, although airbnb needs one for the Central Coast alone. Point Buchon trail is a relatively flat and easy hike along the bluffs with stunning views.
