Morro Bay is a seaside getaway located right off scenic Highway 1 on the central coast of California. The centerpiece of this coastal haven? Morro Rock— a volcanic monolith rising from the depths of the sea. This rock has been a beacon to generations of fearless surfers battling white-capped waves, foodies testing and tasting the bounty of the sea, folks well-versed in the art of relaxation, and everyone in between.

Whether you're hiking the beautifully rugged trails that hug the coastline, finding your new favorite dish at one of Morro Bay’s delectable restaurants, or exploring the city’s thriving cultural scene, this is the perfect place to come get salty.
