Read on for a general description of the Morro Bay area:
At the end of scenic Highway One is Estero Bay, famous for its beautiful state parks, bird estuary, and the distinct "Morro Rock". Tourists and locals alike enjoy a variety of activities in our area, including fishing, surfing, kayaking, golfing, bird watching, beachcombing, or just relaxing and watching the sunset. Morro Bay is Nature at it's Best!
Morro Bay, the largest of the three cities, is at the heart of Estero Bay. Morro Rock, the last in a chain of long-extinct volcanoes, covers over 50 acres at its base and towers 576 feet above the entrance to Morro Bay. The waters that make up the bay are contained within a three-mile sandspit and the shores of Morro Bay and Los Osos. The local fishing industry is one of the most important along the California Coast. On the Embarcadero, you can shop, walk to Tidelands Park and play on the pirate ship, or simply sit and watch as the boats make their way to sea.
Morro Bay Estuary
Morro Bay is 2300 acres of mud flats, eel-grass beds, tidal wetlands, and open water. The bay is the receiving basin for the runoff from 48,000 acres of watershed.
Morro Bay Harbor
Morro Bay has a beautiful harbor sheltered by a sand spit that runs from Los Osos to Morro Bay. You will often sea kayakers paddling across the harbor to enjoy a picnic on the sand spit. The area also has a reputation of having a great surf spot on the other side of the harbor.
Embarcadero
This area is lined with great restaurants & a variety of shopping experiences. It is the most popular area in Morro Bay for both tourist & locals alike. Enjoy a cocktail during a sunset at one of the many restaurants, or rent paddle boats to cruise around the harbor. There is also an aquarium where you can sea some of the wild life of the bay.
The Nine Sisters
The nine sisters are extinct volcano peaks that run in an approximately straight line for twelve miles, stretching from Morro Bay to San Luis Obispo. These peaks separate the Los Osos and Chorro Valleys. The peaks are approximately 21 million years old. Davidson Seamount, disregarded as part of the chain, is submerged about 2.5 miles offshore of Morro Rock.
This area was the original home of the Chumash Indians, who made camps at the base of these peaks and ate the berries and roots found growing in the mountain sides. There is currently an effort being made to have the peaks named as historical landmarks, and thus preserved from further development.
Morro Rock
It stands at an elevation of 576 feet. It is also called, “Gibralter of the Pacific” and is probably the most famous peak. First sighted by Juan Cabrillo in 1542, it was at one time surrounded by water. Quarrying was responsible for its shape, and rock from it supplied the breakwater for Morro Bay. It is now a protected home for the endangered Peregrine Falcon.
Montana De Oro
With over 8000 acres, including 7 miles of shoreline, Montana De Oro is one of the largest state parks in California. The views are spectacular, the breezes always fresh, and you are never far from the sound and sight of the sea. More than half a million people visit Montana De Oro each year to enjoy hiking, jogging, bicycling, horseback riding, surfing, hang-gliding, fishing, or explore the tide pools, look for birds, planets, and wildflowers. There are picnic tables and barbecue pits at Spooner’s Cove, and miles of clean, sandy beaches. |
