Weekend Itinerary
Start your morning with a latte and a fresh-baked pastry from a local coffee shop. Then stroll along the Embarcadero, where you can shop for handmade goods, coastal art, saltwater taffy, or locally made leather and ceramics. Keep an eye out for the sea otters lounging in the harbor! You’ll usually spot a few near the docks or floating among the kelp.
If you want to get your steps in for the day, head up Black Hill for a quick hike with sweeping views of Morro Bay and beyond. Or walk the beach near Morro Rock, a 576-foot volcanic plug and one of the most iconic sights on the Central Coast. This is a great spot for beachcombing, birdwatching, or just taking in the ocean breeze.
Looking to fill your weekend with a little more adventure? Rent a kayak or paddleboard and explore the Morro Bay Estuary, a calm and scenic waterway teeming with wildlife. For something more relaxed, hop on a harbor cruise to get out on the water without breaking a sweat.
When it comes to dining, you can’t go wrong with a fresh seafood dinner where the fish is often caught just hours before it hits your plate. If brunch is more your thing, you’ll find plenty of spots that serve up satisfying weekend meals with ocean views to match.
No matter when you visit, there’s always something happening around town. Plan your stay and discover your new favorite getaway!
