What beach activities should we do in Morro Bay?

For families, Morro Strand State Beach offers a wide, sandy expanse superb for traditional beach fun. You can spend the day building sandcastles, flying kites, or simply enjoying the sun. The gentle waves are generally suitable for younger children to paddle in, and it's a great spot for a relaxed picnic with views of Morro Rock in the distance.

Couples looking for a more active experience might enjoy kayaking or paddleboarding in the calm waters of Morro Bay, especially around the harbour near the Embarcadero. This allows you to get up close to the local wildlife, like sea otters and harbour seals, which are often seen playing in the bay. Equipment rentals are readily available along the Embarcadero.

If you're interested in wildlife spotting, a walk along the Morro Bay State Park beach or the sand spit across from the Embarcadero is highly recommended. You can often see various bird species, and the views of the bay and the ocean are stunning, particularly at sunrise or sunset.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Morro Bay as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately.
