Wellness can take many forms, and in Morro Bay it's easy to find one that best suits you. You can indulge in self care by simply booking a facial or massage at a local spa such as Front Street Inn & Spa. It is often said that art has the power to nourish the soul and reduce stress, so try it out for yourself with a visit to local galleries such as the Art Center Morro Bay and the David J. Rogers Fine Art Gallery. For a combination between the physical and spiritual aspects of relaxation you can visit Let’s Get Tuned, the Central Coast’s first sound bath and yoga studio for a wide range of wellness classes and activities. You could also enjoy some good old fashion retail-therapy at one of the three shopping districts in Morro Bay–the Downtown area, the Embarcadero, and north Morro Bay–each featuring its own unique range of locally-beloved storefronts and dining options.

Embrace An Active Lifestyle
