Lovebirds Paradise
Visually recognized from the north, south, east and west for miles away by the stunning Morro Rock sitting beautifully on the Pacific Ocean, Morro Bay offers romantic sunsets, temperate Mediterranean weather and all kinds of outdoor adventurers perfect for lovebirds. Some of the world’s best-known aphrodisiacs are sustainably farmed at the Morro Bay Oyster Company and can be found at restaurants throughout the city. Situated on the pristine bay, this 130-acre marine farm can be seen by paddle board, kayak or from a guided tour with Lost Isle Adventure Tours.
Looking for a romantic dining experience on the bay? Book a Saturday brunch cruise with one of the many tour operators along the bustling Embarcadero. How about renting a kayak for two and paddling out to the sandspit for a romantic picnic lunch? Or hiking to the top of the Cerro Cabrillo for an amazing view of the Morro Bay Estuary, back bay and sandspit? Couples can also find their own secluded beach in Montano De Oro State Park, go horseback riding on the beach, fly a kite together or stroll the embarcadero on a tandem bike.
