This is one of my favorite places on the Central Coast. This little town has an amazing beach, the iconic haystack rock, and several cute eateries that are worth checking out (yes, amazing seafood too). It's maintained its old-timey coastal town vibe, and will definitely keep you coming back.

This guide contains all of my personal recommendations for places to eat and things to do in the area that I have actually been to.

With this Guide you’ll get:
- A full day’s itinerary for visiting Morro Bay, including things to do & places to eat.
- An interactive map to guide you!

Enjoy!

A Day in Morro Bay

Arrive in Morro Bay and grab breakfast and a coffee. Eat on the back patio, then take the rest of your coffee with you to the beach.

After you've eaten, head down to the beach to explore the Haystack Rock & the beach.

After you've explored around the rock, head down the beach.

Enjoy walking around and checking out the shops by the wharf, or head back to the beach.

If you're looking to do something more substantial after lunch, head over to Montana de Oro State Park.
