Fun Things to Do in Morro Bay
Morro Bay, and nearby Los Osos and Cayucos, are very scenic with many memorable spots to explore!
Flat wooden boardwalk loop trail along the estuary- you see divebombing pelicans, Morro Rock, cypress trees on the hills opposite, salt marsh, and mountains in the distance.
Stunning view on a clear day. Drive up to the lookout, enjoy the view, and then do a 1km out-and-back steep hike.
A very short dirt trail through magical eucalyptus forest, and then a path of deep sand on the dunes.
With beautiful views of the bay, and some interesting displays to check out.
Blissful views of estuary and sailboats, eucalyptus trees, cypress trees, the bay and a little rocky point.
Cement ship playground with logs to climb, seal, dolphin, whale's tail and giant octopus sculptures, picnic tables, and an amazing view of Morro Rock and the inlet.
Short 0.3 mile downhill trail past eucalyptus forest to rocky shale coastline with tide pools. Flooded most of the time, with stepping stones over mud.
A delightful rock, beautiful wildlife, peaceful idyllic estuary, imaginative playground, and colorful little town.
Incredible hike past sink hole, sea stacks, sea arches, with super bloom in spring.
Rugged, beautiful cove with interesting rocks, sea glass, and shells on shore. Rock to climb, and water rushing into cove.
Mother and baby sea otters in a sheltered area near a T-shaped pier. So sweet!
Hard-packed dirt trail with overlooks above glorious coves and rocks. Two miles each way.
Amazing event a few days before Halloween, where witches and warlocks paddle around in the bay!
A walkway from Coleman Park to the base of Morro Rock, with views of sea otters on the left!
Wonderful wide and secluded beach, with sand dollars galore, and views of Morro Rock!
Wide open park behind the dunes in Morro Bay, with play structure with sand floor, and huge lawn with winding paths for tricycling.

Beautiful trail slightly above the lake with sweet pea flowers in spring!
A pretty beachside town, with colorful houses with gardens, gently-sloping hills, a pier and windy beach, and views of Morro Rock.
Short walk along Lucerne Street, past two gorgeous views: of Half Seal Cove, and Cayucos Beach.
A memorable walk is along the clifftop trail at Estero Bluffs, with the wide open spaces, beach below with shiny green agate rocks, and shipwreck!
