It is a great place to see nesting peregrine falcons and the city&#8217;s miles of sandy beach. It is also a designated National Estuary. If you&#8217;re not a hiker, you can walk along the beach to see Morro Rock from a distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For something more active, you can kayak in Morro Bay.

You can check out local art galleries and nautical-themed gift shops. You can also rent kayaks in Morro Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most popular budget hotels in Morro Bay is the Harbor House Inn.
