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. | |

Sea otters – Morro Bay is a super environment for sea otters, a sheltered lagoon and plenty of giant kelp. On a recent family trip, we saw a raft of sea otters next to Morro Rock. | |
| Read our blog post "See the Sea Otters" and find out why kelp is like a "floating blankie." | |||
|
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. |
