Whether you’re a nature lover or an urbanite, there’s something for everyone in Morro Bay California. There’s a bustling waterfront, a charming old town, and the incredible landmark of Morro Rock, a giant volcanic behemoth. Morro Bay sits on the Central California Coastline between San Francisco and Los Angeles. In addition to waterfront attractions, the town also offers a variety of outdoor adventures and a lively downtown shopping district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The town of Morro Bay is home to numerous wildlife, including sea lions. If you kayak out onto the sand bar, you can get up close and personal with these amazing sea mammals. If you are not a kayaker, you may want to try seeing harbor seals, which are smaller and quieter than sea lions. You can even get close to them with your kayak, as they will often poke their whiskers out of the water to say hello.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A massive volcanic plug, Morro Rock, rises 175 metres above the water and provides dramatic scenery for the area. Several organizations have been formed to preserve and protect the bay, including the Friends of Allensworth Rededication Festival, which takes place in April each year. The library provides a place for residents to go for coffee or lunch, and it’s open seven days a week. The public is welcome to use the library and visit the bookstore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Friends of the Library Bookstore in Morro Bay offers a variety of quality books and is a popular place for events and gatherings. The town is also home to the largest map gallery on the Internet, Maphill. Visitors can visit the library during business hours, and browse the wide variety of books available. While you’re visiting the area, stop by the library’s weekly Thursday market and check out the Friends of the Elephant Seal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If surfing is your thing, Morro Bay is the place to go. Several beaches are ideal for surfing, and Morro Bay has several surf beaches. The Morro Rock is an ancient volcanic remnant and the largest of the Nine Sisters. It was once an important landmark for mariners and remains a soaring reference point today. The rock is also the home of a peregrine falcon, one of the world’s fastest birds, with a top speed of 242 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many things in Morro Bay are free, except for some fees for gear or tours. State parks, hiking spots, and beaches are all free to visit. Parking is free, which is another major benefit of this town. While you can get a car in town, you can walk or take public transit to visit the beaches. The buses are also free. In addition, some businesses are closed due to safety and health issues worldwide. In case of emergencies, call ahead and check before visiting a beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paddleboarding, kayaking, and surfing are some of the most popular activities in Morro Bay. The Bay’s water temperatures are cold, but you can rent wetsuits and other gear from the Wavelengths Surf Shop. Jeremy, one of my friends, paddled past a pod of dolphins during his first paddleboarding excursion. And when it comes to dining, you won’t be disappointed! For a night out, you’ll find several good restaurants nearby.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
