Morro Bay
One of the most dramatic spots on the Central Coast is Morro Bay. Morro Rock, a volcanic peak,was sighted in 1542 by the explorer Juan Cabrillo as he sailed up the coast of California. At Morro Bay, kids can boogie board or build sand castles at the beach, look for sea otters, play in the sand dunes, go hiking and kayaking, explore colorful tide pools.
Tip:
In summer at Morro Bay, mornings can be foggy, and sometimes it's gray all day. Fun to visit on a misty morning - the Museum of Natural History or Elfin Forest.
