Morro Bay is a waterfront city 15 minutes north of San Luis Obispo on Highway 1. Much of Morro Bay is a state wildlife refuge where waterfowl hunting is conducted during the season and is one of the few areas in California where Pacific Brant are pursued. Recently, Morro Bay was also declared a California Marine Reserve by the California Fish and Game Commission.

The town’s most striking feature is Morro Rock, a 576-foot high volcanic plug. Morro Rock stands at the entrance to the harbor, and a causeway connects it with the shore. Previously, it was surrounded by water, but the northern channel was filled in to make the harbor. The Rock, as locals call it, was quarried from 1889 to 1969. There is no public access to the rock itself because it is a reserve for the locally endangered peregrine falcon. However, the area around the base of Morro Rock can be visited.

Morro Bay’s Embarcadero is a waterfront area consisting of restaurants of all kinds, fish markets and shops that run the gamut.
