Tidelands Park, Morro Bay

Description

Tidelands Park is a gorgeous spot! Located right on the coast beside an inlet and blessed with a view of Morro Rock, Tidelands Park offers kids a wooden/cement playground with a large ship to climb. Kids can pretend they are steering their ship around the harbor. There are vertical logs of different heights to hop around on and seal sculptures to ride. You can walk onto a dock where there are fishermen and rowboats. You might see a seal swim by. Across the bay you can see a sandspit where birds happily dwell.
After playing, walk north on Embarcadero to the main strip in Morro Bay town and have a seafood lunch, buy a souvenir, or play a game on the giant chess board. You can then continue walking north along the Harborwalk all the way to Morro Strand State Beach.

It was great to just sit back and enjoy the beautiful scenery and my kids having so much fun. We need more parks like this little gem on the coast, especially for travelling families who need a place for the kids to unwind.
