Morro Rock at Morro Bay in San Luis Obispo County

Posted by SanLuisObispoMom.com on Sunday, March 3, 2019 Under: Beaches

Morro Rock

An idyllic backdrop for Morro Bay, Morro Rock is the last of the (Nine Sisters) extinct volcanic peaks along Highway 1 from San Luis Obispo. This 576' tall landmark stands at the mouth of our harbor and is home to nesting Peregrine Falcons. The Morro Rock is huge.

You can't miss it and this volcanic plug attracts many tourists. There is a beachside right by the rock too and a trail that you can walk around alongside.

Always free. Address: 1300 Embarcadero, Morro Bay, CA, 93442

Sea Otters

See the Sea Otters for free right at the T-Pier on the bay! It's of course free to see them because this is their natural habitat! You'll see baby sea otters on the mommies. It's a cute sight to see and worth the drive coming here.

Morro Bay Trolley

Only operating seasonally and links the North Main Street and Downtown Business Districts, Embarcadero, and State Parks. Cost is only $1 per ride. Children under 5 ride free. You can view the 2023 schedule of when they run and the map with all of the Morro Bay Trolley Stops.

Morro Bay Kite Festival

The biggest event in Morro Bay every year is their annual Morro Bay Kite Festival. This is full weekend in the spring time where locals and visitors come out and fly their kites. The sky is so beautiful and the beach is full of people! See my Video Short of when I flew my kite during the Morro Bay Kite Festival.
