Morro Bay consists of three unique California Central Coast communities:
Morro Bay,
Cayucos, and
Los Osos. At the end of scenic Highway One is
Estero Bay. The area has become famous for its beautiful state parks,
bird estuary’s, and the distinct Morro Rock. Tourists and locals both
enjoy a variety of activities in the area, including fishing, surfing,
kayaking, golfing, bird watching, beachcombing, or just relaxing and
enjoying the sunset. Besides the nature and recreation of Estero Bay,
there are also fine restaurants, and unique shops.
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 sandpit 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. Peruse MorroBay.com and learn more about the treasures of Estero
Bay!

Cayucos is located at the Northern end
of Estero Bay. Cayucos is a small beachfront community that contains the
largest pier in the bay. Cayucos’ beach is what visitors expect in a
California beach - sunny, sandy, and surfable. Take a walk or fish on
the pier. Watch the otters and seals at play. Play in the surf or search
for shells. But overall, be prepared to relax.
Los Osos - Those who love the outdoors will
love this part of Estero Bay. You can enjoy a number of activities at
the popular Montana de Oro State Park, the Los Osos Oaks State Preserve,
the Elfin Forest, and the Sweet Springs Audubon Nature Preserve. Los
Osos is a short 12-15 minute drive through the countryside to San Luis
Obispo, and an even shorter 3-mile drive to Morro Bay, through the
beautiful Morro Bay State Park.
